Thanks, couch surfing! Something that I’ve found throughout all of my trips to the many different places I’ve visited, is that food is always a cost that is hard to contain. Even so, after spending hundreds of dollars on food on my trip to NYC, I began to look more into saving some serious money on dining for my next trip.

Plan ahead to have some quick, easy breakfasts that are high in protein and whole grains and low in sugar (for example, Van’s Natural Foods 8 Whole Grains Pancakes and Waffles, or its latest better-for-you option, Ancient Grains cereal featuring 6g of protein and 5g of fiber), and make sure your morning routine includes time for kids to eat.

Fuzzy pink & red throws to wrap up in once you’re on the couch with your dessert creations. Game night: Grab a deck of cards for a night of games on the couch. Head to CVS/pharmacy’s snack aisle for a package of hot chocolate. V-Day themed candies and snacks galore available in the Seasonal and Snack Aisles.

I can’t help myself…she is so stinkin’ cute…even if she is on the couch. We don’t want to make our families miserable with bland meals, boring snacks, and not enough food in the house, but we must stay on budget. Ok, Ok, let’s talk grocery budget!

I also went from being a couch potato to taking 5 mile hikes, biking for 60 minutes a day, and ultimately looking forward to the next active challenge! I wanted to rid myself of all the toxins I had been consuming, plus it was a great way to get myself use to limiting calories, eating healthier snacks, etc.

Assign a budget category to each transaction, so you can add up what you spend on food, fuel, clothing, self-care, etc. I want to find some snack ideas for active and growing athletes. The goal of this step was to avoid trips through the drive through for drinks and snacks when I’m out and about with my kids. Plan ahead.
