Food/shopping. Fast food was rare. Most food at the grocery store came from the USA. The only discount store was the 5 and dime aka ‘the dime store’ It did not sell food (except 1 penny candies). Cheap (not just inexpensive, I mean cheap – easy to break) toys came from post-war Japan.

Do you like to picnic, hike, swim, camp, bike, bird watch, canoe, fish, and spend your free time exploring the great outdoors? Look for local fairs and festivals for low cost games, food and activities. We love to watch a movie on the big screen, but at $7 a ticket, the whole experience can really blow the budget. Go bowling.

Food: Arguably the most important part of this post. Healthy Snacks: Traveling can be hard on your body, so make smart food choices. My favorite is drinking a latte while watching the ocean tide roll in. Sunnies: Inexpensive, prescription, whatever works. Looking for an adventure? Nobody wins when blueberries get dropped.

For many guests, watching the birthday kid open gifts can be a boring or anxiety-provoking experience. Many kids have dietary restrictions for parental preferences or food allergies.

There were 5 large potatoes in the bag, but I only used 2 sweet potatoes for this dinner–we each ate a half and that was enough since there was a lot of other food for dinner. Watch Brussel sprouts carefully so they don’t burn. I think this is quite the buy–organic, inexpensive, and saves time. for 32 oz.

Food truck Food trucks are hugely popular, often offering unique, specialty foods that often wouldn’t sell as easily in brick-and-mortar restaurants.

I use them a lot in the food and craft pantries for storing supplies. I used an inexpensive mix of hydrogen peroxide, Dawn dish soap and water (mixed in a repurposed Windex bottle) to spray them. To be honest, this has long been our habit as it saves so much money and is much healthier than restaurant food, in my opinion.

The inspiration to pay off my debt was watching my grandmother balance her checkbook. And I cut back on lifestyle – cooking food at home, taking the bus to work vs driving and paying for parking, etc. What inspired you to get debt free? Was there a particular event? She was so meticulous with her money.
