If I had a day to myself...:
I would read a good book, catch up on my crocheting and
take a long bubble bath.
Money Saving Tips:
I make everything from scratch, no prepackaged food! It
is bad for you and more expensive than making it
yourself. My kids get fruit and homemade bread as a
snack. I let my bread machine knead my dough while i am
doing other stuff then I put it in bread pans and bake.
I save up and order bulk from azure farms in Oregon.
They charge wholesale prices and truck your order for
free. I can get oats, flour, dried fruit and rice etc
for an amazing price!
Bargain Hunting Strategies:
Amazon.com
Products
we can't live without:
Citra solv
Vinegar
Baking soda
In the Kitchen:
Use your cookbooks!! The older they are the better the
recipes! They generally use cheaper easier to find
ingredients.
Organization:
I use Microsoft Outlook to chart what I need to do
during the week. Then it pops up with my to do list for
the day automatically. I also type my menu for the week
into the calendar. Then I can refer back over the weeks
and I have a months menus already written out. I make
my grocery lists from the menu and enter them under
notes by date so I can pull up a weeks grocery list with
a touch of a button!
