Saving Everyday
OCTOBER 27, 2023
My son has been doing this for about a year now and averages a few hundred dollars a week. For most people, groceries are a huge expense, especially if you have a family. We spend about $600 a month on groceries. Pack your lunch, and focus on inexpensive meals like sandwiches and leftovers. AKA, be a handyman.

I recently canceled my internet through AT&T, and my son added me to his T-Mobile account. Make a double batch and pack up the leftovers for lunches throughout the week, which brings me to my next point. My family loves leftovers, so they never go to waste. Cut cable or find an alternative. Pack your lunch. on anything new.

Don't waste your grocery money on buying them, make them instead. Restaurant Leftovers (Olive Garden breadsticks, Boston Market corn bread, etc). Pizza Crusts (my son always cuts them off). Fried Green Tomatoes. Crab Cakes. Meatloaf or Meatballs (Filler). But do you know what? What is your bread bag? Cut off Crusts.

Kid’s hair cuts: My son is 4. It is a win-win situation.They eat healthy and my grocery bill gets cheaper. The days I do cook, Sunday for example, I hope to have enough for leftovers for another day. I bought my son two years worth (different sizes). This is what I do : 1. My daughter is 7.

Last weekend my grown son was home for our autumn family picnic. Plastic containers from sliced lunch meat are great for leftover vegetable or casserole servings. Brown grocery bag s (when we can get them) are used for wrapping boxes for mailing and artwork by children as well as lining the kitchen trash can.

Donate items : Since my son is an only child, his clothing doesn’t get a lot of heavy use. We usually send him home with the leftovers. Get a gift card for a local grocery store, or take the person shopping, and pay for the groceries. My brother, a student, has an open invitation to come to dinner.
