Family Balance Sheet
NOVEMBER 25, 2016
Thursday: Thanksgiving. My mother hosted her side of the family. Everyone chips in though, but my mom and two aunts cook the bulk of the food. Saturday: I am roasting a turkey for my family, mostly for the leftovers, but also so the 4 of us can sit down as a family for a big meal. Wednesday: Spaghetti night.

That’s about what a typical family might spend on food in a month. 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. Institute a ‘Raid the Fridge’ Night. Freeze garden and in season produce.

Saving Everyday

My family regularly requests my black bean brownies , but today I decided to change them up and add some leftover pumpkin puree I saved from Thanksgiving. Since I use pumpkin a lot this time of year, I like to buy it in bulk at Sam’s Club. The results were amazing! 1 cup pumpkin puree. 2/3 cup cocoa powder, unsweetened.

We hosted Easter as well, and my cousin and her family dropped in to celebrate with us, too. For Easter, we were able to cut the cost of our dinner by doing some things that we will repeat for Christmas: Bulk Shop. I am normally not a fan of bulk shopping at places like Costco. It actually saves over the year.
