JANUARY 22, 2024

I consoled myself with the thought that I rarely buy paper towels and use cloth napkins, so it all balances out.

Try things!

Batch cooking: Buy in bulk, batch cook, and freeze in portion sizes. Seriously, my kids claim hunger ALL.DAY.LONG.

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. I don’t find too many coupons for foods that we eat and I only save about $3-5 in paper coupons on each weekly shopping trip, which is hardly extreme.
