Coupons Do Work

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. Thus no food went to waste. I do the same thing AND my kids eat healthy! Monday-Wed= meal no. FYI: Yes my family does eat healthy.

Whether it’s been seeing family, weddings, or traveling with my husband for business, it’s just been CRAZY this summer. It’s definitely worth it to keep refilling the ice in the ice chest to keep the food cold. For those times that you will want to eat out, see what’s available at Restaurant.com ahead of time.

Eating Out. Use coupons, children eat free specials, and discounted restaurant gift certificates to save on meals. Look at the pattern of how money was spent in prior months eating out. If eating out two to three times a week costs the family one hundred dollars, become ruthless at reducing that amount in half.
Family Balance Sheet

Sometimes I feel like we are newly weds again. We started cooking at home more, a big issue for us was eating out. We tried our best to stretch the food budget. Sell stuff, say no to vacations and eating out, and just get through this time. We completely started over. We used up what we had.

He pointed out that I had studied sculpture and this was sort of similar, so I used a pair of office scissors and cut his hair a week before our wedding. And art supplies: I like to paint and draw, so every now and then I splash out. Easiest part of being frugal: Not buying things like junk food at the grocery store.

Brian and me at the Sears Tower Having our first child just one month after our first wedding anniversary was NOT in the plan, but so far it’s worked out well! For me, being in the kitchen and making food for people is an act of love. These options are usually a LOT less than nearby restaurant food.

Last summer in my Grandma Rie’s Money Camp, we gave the 3 kids advertisements from the Sunday paper and asked them first to identify and cut out things that were needs; and then to do the same with things that were wants. It is food, so maybe a need. Is butter a need or a want? That same decision holds true with everything.
