By cooking at home you save money, eat a more balanced and nutritional diet and get the enjoyment of being in control of creating what you and your family eat. There’s not just one cook in our kitchen; we have several family members who love to be responsible for creating meals.

We shopped at garage sales, turned down the heat, combined errands to use less gas, didn’t buy a lot of prepared food, cooked at home and the like. Eating out or going to a movie were once a year events. We especially never put anything consumable (like gas, food, eating out, movies and etc) on a credit card.

I had also been teaching one class a quarter at a local career college so I increased to two classes a quarter. And I cut back on lifestyle – cooking food at home, taking the bus to work vs driving and paying for parking, etc.
