Family Balance Sheet
NOVEMBER 12, 2014
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. Lunches: Soups & Homemade Breads – The BEST EVER Enchilada Soup (more often in the fall & winter, less in the summer).

After looking at what I have on hand and what’s on sale, I come up with a few ideas for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. For example, I have an avocado and some tomatoes that need to be used as soon as possible, so I’ll make a quick batch of guacamole and plan our lunch or dinner around what goes with that. Repurpose leftovers.

Put Away the Leftovers Another way to increase your savings quickly is to try as much as you can to save money from your designated weekly budget. Instead, put that leftover cash into your savings accounts. From $300 a week to the weeks where you have some of that leftover, find one week where you spend absolutely nothing.
Saving Cents With Sense

Shop the bulk bins. If you haven’t checked out the bulk area at your Whole Foods yet, make sure you head there first next time you shop. My store also had bulk herbs and spices, too. Buying bulk also helps you save on the cost of packaging. Lunch : Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwiches (for kids in school all week).

Also, I plan for everything–breakfasts, lunches, snacks, and dinners. 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. Batch cooking: Buy in bulk, batch cook, and freeze in portion sizes.

I personally like doing early morning parties, around 10am because I can have some snacks out for the kids but not a full lunch or dinner. If your child is pretty young or doesn’t have an opinion, I like to do a color themed party so that I can use any leftovers for future parties! Shop Throughout The Year. Buy Online vs Party Store.
