Family Balance Sheet

JANUARY 28, 2022

When I don’t plan, I make multiple trips to the store, eat out too often, and most certainly blow our budget. Designate one night a week as “raid the fridge’ night to get rid of leftovers. Everyone’s plate might look different, but you’ll at least use up the leftovers and reduce the waste. Examples: Heinz ketchup: $2.29/32

APRIL 14, 2015

For example, once I saw shorts and shirts for $1.99 I stocked up on several sizes for the next 2-3 years… for my daughter, last Sept, Crazy 8 had a coupon and a sale on summer clothes. Example of things I recently bought : Turkey meat, publix cheese, potatoes, strawberries, 2 BOGO breads, bananas and ranch seasoning.

I use them regularly when we eat out at restaurants, and I will not shop at a department store without one, but grocery coupons are completely different for me. While I have success finding coupons in the Sunday paper and online printing sources, like Coupons.com for hygiene, paper, and cleaning products, food is another story.

For example, if you’re making shredded chicken for tacos, make extra and freeze some for another meal. I usually batch cook a few things on Monday that we can eat from all week. Repurpose leftovers. Eating up those leftovers prevents food waste, period! Dining out is something you can stop immediately.

Here are some examples: Stop eating out on the weekend. If you’re lacking on equipment front, check out Amazon for some great deals on appliances. Leftovers from last night’s dinner and some fruit work just fine. Rather, buy groceries when they are on sale and have coupons. Buy cheap groceries.
