Gwyneth Paltrow posted on her facebook page : There are a lot of people who use Food stamps (now known as SNAP), and the reality is, food stamps or not, anyone can live on $29 a week. For the clothes and shoes for my kids, I look for sales. I haven’t bought my kids new clothes in 2 years. I wait for the good sale.

Now is the time to watch every penny that you spend, so that you can purchase more in the same budget or even better, put that money in emergency funds. Eating out harms you in two ways.

Check out the group and watch my Facebook LIVES where I describe the steps to writing a budget. This is to keep out any trolls and help to keep the group a safe and encouraging place.). Assign a budget category to each transaction, so you can add up what you spend on food, fuel, clothing, self-care, etc.

Heading out for Valentine’s Day dinner sounds lovely, but long lines, high prices, and the cost of a babysitter, can keep many of us in for the holiday. Sure, we’d love to eat out and have someone else prepare and serve our food, but that would involve a babysitter and a food tab. Dress it up!

It never occurred to me to ask Mom or Mom-in-law to come watch my kids. Seeing the joy of discovery on a child’s face or watching them learn a new skill or develop a new talent is just plain fun, no matter the cost in money or time. Expectations of our children. We raised our children to expect more involvement.

Thrift stores, on the other hand, offer affordable, stylish clothing. As a recent article in CNN notes, buying secondhand clothes no longer comes with a stigma. And if you go out to eat for a meal, you’re essentially paying for two meals at once. You can find cool vintage threads as well to mix and match.
