Coupons Do Work

APRIL 14, 2015

For the clothes and shoes for my kids, I look for sales. I shop at the end of the season. I stocked up on several sizes for the next 2-3 years… for my daughter, last Sept, Crazy 8 had a coupon and a sale on summer clothes. I wait for the good sale. I wait for the good sale. They were the leftovers.

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. I make my grocery list based on that. When you get home from grocery shopping, prep everything you can before it goes in the fridge. Repurpose leftovers. Try a no-shopping challenge.

Family Balance Sheet

JANUARY 28, 2022

When I don’t plan, I make multiple trips to the store, eat out too often, and most certainly blow our budget. Personally, I plan a weekly menu that’s centered around what’s already in my pantry and freezer, what’s on sale and my family’s schedule. 40 oz (loss leader sale) =.049/oz, Thaw as needed.

But there is no way you are going to give up cable, the cell phone, eating out or your gym membership. Send your spouse to do the grocery shopping. When you do need something, shop with a friend that won’t let you go overboard. You go weekend e-baying, garage-saling or to the flea markets.

Family Balance Sheet

MAY 14, 2013

We plan on participating in our neighborhood''s yard sale next month to raise our vacation funds. We told our daughters that they could set up a lemonade stand at the yard sale to earn their spending money. Maybe you don’t want to cook at all during your vacation or maybe eating out for every meal is beyond what your budget can handle.
