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. If you don’t think the food in the fridge will be eaten before it goes bad, place leftovers in a freezer container, label, and store in the freezer.

You all know that I love to find a deal, but I also want to find quality products for my family. The key to finding healthy products when you are on a budget, is to be a savvy shopper!

One of my favorite things about the holidays is all the fun parties we get to have, and Halloween is no exception! But now that I’m a grandma to a six-year-old, I find myself doing things a lot differently. can be found near the registers or the bulk bins, which are located all around the store.

Sometimes my close friend will join us for the holidays, and sometimes she stays behind. 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. Though I’m not complaining about more dessert!
