Grocery Shopping

Somewhere along the way in the past almost 13 years since I got married, I started taking short cuts. I am sure that part of it was having small ones under foot. For the longest time I had 4 kids under 6 years old, it seemed like I was lucky if I got a shower, much less fix a wholesome, inexpensive meal! I have always been a thrifty shopper. We have never been well off and are used to living paycheck to paycheck. However, over the past couple months, the Lord has been showing me that I can serve my husband even better by seeing exactly where I could save his hard-earned money. Since our biggest bill after paying rent is buying groceries, no small surprise having seven in our family, I knew this was a spot I could work on. So I have been working hard, looking for sales  to save on our grocery bill. Imagine my excitement when I found this book: Miserly Moms- Living Well on Less in a Tough Economy. My secret sister gave it to me months ago and for some reason, it was tucked away and never opened. Now, I am not getting paid any money to promote this book. They don't even know I exist. However, I think this book is a MUST read for families that are wanting to save money and eat healthier. In this book, one of the things the author does is give you price comparisons. For example how much a box of pancake mix is compared to making it from scratch. There are recipes for making your own NON-toxic house cleaners, recipes for yummy inexpensive meals and a section on where and how you can save money on your budget. This has been a great blessing to me and I hope you can get something from it too!
