Food Savings……an ongoing challenge~

If you’re wanting to move toward the frugal  living theme, there is a lot of wiggle room in the food family budget.  I don’t know about you, but food has a deep daily impact on those that I love and live with!  It’s a huge part of family life.  The shopping and preparations are part of that love too!

Are you wondering how to save money without messing up the love?  It can be a struggle to make that change.  I would recommend implementing one frugal tip at a time instead of trying to change many things…….you don’t want to hear, “What’s Mom trying to do to us!”

When I started my thriftiness journey years ago, of course, I put into action what I learned at home and what my Mom taught me.  I also gathered frugal tips from books, magazines, the internet and friends who were with me on this journey.   I implemented one frugal tip at a time, started Once a Month Cooking, started couponing and over the course of a few years, I can honestly say that I spend less than $300 a month on our family food budget……….and we don’t eat Ramen Noodles!  I have cut 50% of our food budget within the last year.

People don’t become truly frugal overnight, but small changes make a big difference.  If you’re interested in learning more about the Once a Month Cooking or couponing or learn how to trim our family food budget, stay tuned……….upcoming classes this fall through Tidy Tightwads.
