I make it into a game. I love trying to spend the least amount possible! I make my week menu on Sundays and go to the store on Sunday evening. I only buy what’s on my list. We have one or two days each week where we eat poor people food! (Grilled cheese, omlets, tuna surprise, etc.) You’d be shocked how much that saves!

Okay, using baking soda as a deoderant is taking it a little far for me, but here, here to the rest! I love my freezer – when we don’t eat all of something I can stick it in the freezer and use it later. Love it! Mom opened my eyes to saving unused refried beans in the freezer. You just pull it out again when you need it. I never use a whole can. Same with canned milk – I never use the whole can so I try to use the rest with french toast the next morning. I’m interested in the homemade cleaning materials. Good idea!

I would agree with this. We always go shopping with a list. When people tell me how much they spend it always blows me away. Considering how that we spend just a portion of what they spend. I can not believe the leftovers that we have, I can only imagine theirs and how often they go to waste. I can say that I can not stand cold cereal, but as for my husband and kids, that is another story. Thanks for the post.

I emailed your box garden post to my husabnd — he’s going to build one in the backyard. Now, if I could just grow a green thumb.
