Saving Everyday

OCTOBER 27, 2023

My son has been doing this for about a year now and averages a few hundred dollars a week. Dining out, fast food drive-throughs, and Starbucks all have to stop. Pack your lunch, and focus on inexpensive meals like sandwiches and leftovers. Everyone in my family loves leftovers, so this one is easy for us! Anything goes.

Now that my son is back in school, and my husband’s teaching schedule is set (at least for this semester), I find that I feel much better — and it’s easier to stick to my health goals. Without a routine, we often reach for prepackaged foods at the store, or grab takeout. My son has piano lessons, Cub Scouts, and 4-H.

I get out the old food processor and start chopping it up. Meatloaf or Meatballs (Filler). But do you know what?

Last weekend my grown son was home for our autumn family picnic. Zip lock bags are routinely washed and used again for food (or other) storage. We don’t re-use for food if they contained toxic or very greasy items though. Plastic containers from sliced lunch meat are great for leftover vegetable or casserole servings.

I’m fifty years old, married almost 25 years, with four sons of various ages ranging from all grown up to still-working-on-it. ? an illustration I did for one of my son’s books. This is a butcher board table my husband and sons made when we were living in a rental with very little useful counter space.
