Saving Everyday

SEPTEMBER 12, 2022

My husband and I both like to travel, but we’ve never had a large disposal income, so we’ve never had a lot of money to travel. We used to think that a vacation wasn’t a vacation unless we had eaten like the locals and indulged in all of the local foods. Pick Accommodations with Free Food in Mind.

To the overworked housewife in the 1950s, convenience foods were a fun novelty that gave her more time to do other things besides cook. To the working women of the 1980s, convenience foods offered them a way to juggle their responsibilities of career women and wives and mothers. Chicken or Beef Broth. Making broth was a mystery.

When finances are tight, often the only area we can control is our food spending. By having a schedule and knowing what we usually eat, I can save money by buying many foods in bulk.

Many of us are struggling to make ends meet (as in what’s at the end of the receipt meeting what’s at the end of your checkbook), and sometimes we discover that money for enough groceries to feed a family just isn’t in the budget. While eating less is certainly an option, it shouldn’t have to be, not when there is plenty of food to go around.
