I think we've more or less blown the grocery budget this month.  Ooops!  I guess there's always next month, but that said, I do still have some money left in the grocery budget.  We'll just see how this all works out.  Tuesday is Matt's big doctor's appointment (pray for us!), so I'm not sure if we'll be having dinner at home or out yet.  We may be visiting friends instead. =) MONDAY B -- Banana

Back to menu planning!  Usually I try to plan a week or two ahead to give myself some wiggle room.  Obviously that hasn't happened. =) That vacation really threw me for a loop, but I think we're finally getting back on track.  We are also working on trying to eat healthier.  Now, I just need to remember to post the menu for my hubby and the kids!  I'm looking forward to the warmer weather and

(From Christmas.  Ignore the mess) I learned something unnerving today from my five year old.  This afternoon, he was wanting a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and he wanted to make it. I told him he could make a sandwich, but he couldn't use the jelly because the kids always get huge globs of peanut butter in it.  Then it's ruined. "Not me," he said.  "I always lick the knife off before I

Changing it up a little this week!  We're heading away for a long weekend, so the bulk of our eating will be out this week.  Yikers!  I am packing snacks to keep us from eating out when we just need a munchie, and we booked a hotel with continental breakfast.  We also have a minifridge/microwave, so I'm packing cereal and instant oatmeal just in case.  =)  It's something the whole family is

Still working on staying out of the grocery as much as I can!  I'm going back to the envelope system from groceries this month.  Instead of adding money each week, I put it all in on this weekend.  We'll see how that plays out.  I got my big trip to Trader Joe's out of the way, and hit the asian/indian food stores to do the bulk of our stocking up.  I still need to hit Aldi for oatmeal, tomatoes

Right now I'm working on trying to get rid of some of the food that has been hanging out for a while.  I'm also trying to avoid going to the store for as long as I can -- I spent way too much at the store in January!  Having a plan is saving me some stress and money on eating out.  My father in law got married this weekend, and we got sent home with a big pile of leftovers from the reception.

Throwaway plates are one of the biggest source of consumer waste here in America and also one of the convenience items found in many households.  Throwaway plates have become a staple for busy people on the go, but they cost the individual and the environment in the long run. Giving up throwaways is a great way to save some money on a tight budget.  It is far less costly for both the consumer

(photo by Kelleigh) Do you use the envelope system?  Basically, you set up envelopes for the categories of items you can pay cash for say gas, groceries, and eating out.  The theory behind this is that cash in your hand is harder to part with and better yet, it makes it simpler to stick to your planned budget to have this money earmarked. Today I came across this tutorial to make your very own

He's a hider.  And this pillow is his hiding spot of choice in the office.  But, what is he hiding from? This guy.  He outweighs poor Charlie by a good sixty pounds. It's okay Charlie.  I'd be nervous too. This guy isn't any help either.  He

Growing up, my mom always sliced melons. We'd just eat the fruit right out of the rind or cut it out of the slice. I continued this as an adult, opting to slice melon before cutting it out of the rind.It was a lot of work, but I didn't know any better. I was oblivious. Last year that changed.My smart and talented friend Sarah recently graduated from a Hospitality and Food Management Program. Last

If you're anything like me, you don't like the heels from a loaf of bread. To be honest, there was nothing I could find them useful for except toast.And my kids and husband aren't fans either.Throwing them out to the birds when I'm not in the mood for toast is okay, but I'm not a fan of wasting food either. I know, I know, I'm hard to please.Then the clouds parted and the birds sang and I had a

Maybe it's the country girl in me, but I love drying my clothes outdoors. They just smell so much cleaner. Aside from that, it helps to keep my house cooler and saves me a little money on electricity. And well, it just seems natural to me.That said, sometimes it can take forever. I don't have much of a clothesline, so space is at a premium. I really like to put more than one load on at a time. By

I currently work fast food. I also worked fast food, at a different establishment, back in high school. It's interesting to say the least.Here are the top 5 strangest things I've seen at work:1) A very sweaty (damp?) man cruising through the drive thru in an open robe. Thankfully I didn't see THAT, but he did tell me I have a sexy voice **shudders**2) A woman balancing a small baby on her

No it's not a typo. You read it right.Hi my name is Beulah. I have two boys, and I let them pee in the yard. Thank you.Sometimes I encourage it. Like when my oldest son was potty training, but we were never near a public restroom when nature called. Let's just say, he saw a lot of parking lot action.Or when our single bathroom is otherwise occupied, I shoo them to the backyard.The little one

Last fall, I had to complete "service learning" as part of an assignment. Actually a major assinment. I ended up in the thrift store at the senior center right around the corner from my house. Sadly, I've been here three years, and I.never.knew.it.was.there.I know. I suck.BUT, I loved volunteering there so much, I didn't stop after my hours were complete. I even try to arrange my school

The Prompts:1.) If you could cut back on something in your life that takes up your time what would it be? And what would you prefer to spend that time doing? Mmmm. I'd like more time for cleaning or better yet, a house that cleaned itself. A girl can dream.2.) Share a recent adventure you had with a friend. I went rummaging this weekend. It was fun yes, but not adventurous. I have lunch date

1.) What is your life's anthem? You know...that song that is ALWAYS in your head. The one you'd go to sing first if someone told you to sing a song right NOW. What is it and what does it mean to you? I get random songs stuck in my head all the time, but if I were forced to sing a song on the spot it would be Amazing Grace.2.) We love telemarketers don't we!?! Describe a memorable experience you

One of the ways we've cut back on our expenditures and waste is by getting rid of paper towels and paper napkins. It seems to me if we have them, we use them very quickly, no matter what their intended purpose is. In fact, things like paper towels contribute greatly to our environmental waste.Instead, we rely on fabric napkins and microfiber cloths. Having reusable cloths saves you money. You do

My kids love puzzles, and that's fine with me. I'd much rather see them huddled together in the floor trying to find out which piece goes where than in front of a video game.However, they always destroy the puzzle boxes. ALWAYS. At my house, we're luck if the box lasts being opened. I can't explain it. It's just the way it is.We tried several options to remedy the destruction. I've

I've always been a fan of natural laundry detergent, but I've not been a fan of the price tag.A while back, I came across Wildwood Mama's tutorial for homemade laundry soap, and I was intrigued. Our detergent supply was getting low, and I really didn't want to pay store prices. I also wanted

My favorite definition is this on by Dr. John Vann:The concept of sustainability is centered on the future of humans. The goal is survival of humanity indefinitely into the future at an acceptable quality of life.Sounds great right? I prefer to live this way, but with all of the different

It's a frugal recipe that looks super easy to make and yummy too!I thought this article on intimacy by Jess on was spot on.If any of you are looking to concieve (or giggle a little) Michelle has a lot of great information and links over on her blog.Find anything interesting lately? I'd love to hear about it!

Leaving notes for myself on the bathroom mirror really works for me. I simply use a dry erase marker to write down whatever it is that I need to remember to do or to remind my husband of things as well. Why?1. I need to write things down in order to remember them. I love lists, but they don't work if I don't look at them.2. If it's in the bathroom mirror, I'll look at it several times a day. I

Snapfish is currently running a deal where you can score 50 digital prints for just $5! What a deal right!?!Here's the scoop, when you order your prints, you'll need to choose to pick your pictures up. Select a Walgreens near you to do so. At checkout, enter the code WAL505. This price is only good for orders of 50 prints or more. The code is valid through 29 March 09.I'm thinking of printing off

I received this as an email today. I thought it was worth passing along. Using peroxide is both frugal and sustainable. We do use some of these methods in our home, but there were just as many that were new to me. I hope you find some useful to you as well. **Note, peroxide can be purchased in XL sizes at some drug stores and medical supply centers.**Did you also know bleach was invented in the

I have a sweets problem, so an entire batch of cookies at my house is a bad idea. I can't make myself stop eating them. It's sad, I know. So, instead of baking an entire batch of cookies, I just bake what we'll eat that night or day and freeze the rest. I use one of these guys to portion out the dough easily. I then freeze the little balls on a cookie sheet or cutting board. Once they are

I'm planning to stock up our freezer with easy meals and snacks for the days when things just don't go right or I'm too pressed for time to make a proper meal. I also need to be prepared for my trip this summer when my husband and youngest son will be one their own for 3 weeks with the cooking. And, I'm trying to come up with some ideas for a close friend who is expecting.Hear me Lou? Clean out

For easy snacks at our house, I have a drawer in the kitchen set aside for non perishable snacks. I buy things in bulk, and divide them into portions using snack size ziploc bags. It really works for us to have something we can grab and go when we will be out of the house. It's also nice to have snacks that the kids can get to if I am busy with something else.Things like dried fruit, pretzels,

Money Saving Mom has a great post up on how you can score 6 bags of Hershey's chocolate for just a buck! And my supply has been completely diminished. . .I'm not sure if this will work, but I recommend trying this with Valentine's Day bags if the coupons can be used on them. They should be on sale for a very low price this week.Enjoy your free chocolate!
