Family Balance Sheet

APRIL 24, 2015

This week, due to meal planning burn out and maybe a bit of laziness, I did very little shopping and instead planned many of our meals from what I could find in the freezer. I am getting better at putting leftovers in the freezer if we don’t eat them before they go bad. I served with fruit and toast.

I have a grandmother who would never dream of buying containers to store leftovers or food for the freezer. I use recycled jars to store baking goods (those blue Ball jars were a yard sale find), leftovers, matches, Q-tips, cotton balls, and office supplies.

My grandmother taught me this money saving tip years ago and I now only buy the seconds. We ate leftovers. Wednesday: leftover night from Tuesday’s dinner. We’ll pack a lunch, but we’re going to find a place for dinner. Seconds are the not-so-pretty apples that the orchard can’t sell at full price.

All I had to do was what my grandmother had taught me. actually rule of thumb : shop for kids clothes during ‘off season’ that is when you find the best sales. watch my video below: When I was growing up, my grandmother would make two-three meals a week and the rest of the week? They were the leftovers.

Also, we’re by a military base, so it’s a little easier to find houses to rent if you know when people will be PCSing out and needing to rent out their homes. And I am more conscious of eating leftovers and avoiding food waste. We always find free/inexpensive things to do on our trips, if we can.
