When we began a 1 income family last year we knew we had to make changes and your ideas have really helped us. Meal planning, coupons and all the other tips have been lifesavers! We have just started considering your homemade bread ideas, this might be the reason to start in 2011!!Jaymehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02952206655883956159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5636380768209162704.post-74448916442695157392010-12-02T13:35:03.016-08:002010-12-02T13:35:03.016-08:00I LOVE your blog and would really enjoy learning m...I LOVE your blog and would really enjoy learning more about your frugal lifestyle. I save money by clipping coupons, looking at the clearance rack, buying clothes that are out of season for the next year, and of course by reading your blog and combining sales with coupons. We always get our gas at Kum and Go on Sunday so we can get the free paper that is full of ads and coupons. I love to shop at Walmart where they always price match other stores ads. I always try to save money any way I can. Thanks so much for your posts and helping others to save money too!

I stock up on food when it's on sale to use throughout the year. I bake my own desserts, and make our meals from what I find on sale each week.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17666912644715450672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5636380768209162704.post-11182362733305983282010-12-02T07:16:42.702-08:002010-12-02T07:16:42.702-08:00I do our big grocery trip once a month and MENU-PL...I do our big grocery trip once a month and MENU-PLAN! It saves mental energy and saves me money when I use what I have in the pantry.

A few months ago I found an amazing little discount grocery store. In this store there are tons of organic foods that are not even OOD. For example, I am able to get my EVOO for $1.29 a bottle. I do still have to go to HyVee to get my dairy and produce. I just stock up on yogurt when it is on sale. <br /><br />I also use coupons (except at the discount store), we rarely eat out, we pack our lunches, if I HAVE to have pop I buy a 2-liter bottle when it is on sale for $1.00, and I ALWAYS look at the unit price for the best deal.Living A Dream Togetherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10911949832557369386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5636380768209162704.post-25781483854907589202010-12-02T03:27:51.706-08:002010-12-02T03:27:51.706-08:00We have a family of 7 so we make a conscious effor...We have a family of 7 so we make a conscious effort not to eat outside of the house and make as much as we can from scratch. So, that's how we save money. Oh yeah, and coupous, coupons, coupons!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
