Family Balance Sheet

NOVEMBER 12, 2014

Having a routine keeps me scheduled so that I don’t forget to prep something and end up tempted to eat out. By having a schedule and knowing what we usually eat, I can save money by buying many foods in bulk. Just be sure that your family will consume all of the food you purchase in bulk. The sky’s the limit.

Learning how to save money from your salary without sacrificing your lifestyle is a skill worthy of an entire course subject in the most prestigious of schools. I look for coupons and deals that are specific to the brand my family likes, and then I buy in bulk. My family chooses to eat out once per week, for example.

Of course, your planning starts with where you are going. Maybe you don’t want to cook at all during your vacation or maybe eating out for every meal is beyond what your budget can handle. I don’t mind cooking and eating in a few nights so that we have some extra cash for a really good, quality meal.

When I don’t plan, I make multiple trips to the store, eat out too often, and most certainly blow our budget. Batch cooking: Buy in bulk, batch cook, and freeze in portion sizes. I also buy apples in bulk from a local orchard and make Homemade Sugar-Free Applesauce to eat year-round.
