It's easier to keep track of what you've spent when you see it leaving your wallet. I’m all about eating at home, since Eat at Home is the name of my blog ;-) Paying with cash also saves us money.

Although the meal planning & bulk cooking is a tough one for the pregnant wife & toddler of a deployed soldier. Thanks for the tips. I will be sure to use some of them now! Great tips.

Ugh. We even quit going to story hour at the library every week, and only went to the library if we were going to a store nearby. I normally (and this is now) go to the store once a week, so I can go to Weight Watchers, the library, and do other errands all at the same time. :) When I menu plan it saves me tons of time and money. I love that. When gas was $4 a gallon, I didn’t go anywhere but the grocery store every two weeks, and church. Ugh.

The only thing for us is we don't have a town library so we have to go the next town over. They charge $60 a year to be a member. Ugh! Still it has saved me money overall so we do it. Perhaps someday we will have a nice big free library! Great tips! The only thing for us is we don’t have a town library so we have to go the next town over. They charge $60 a year to be a member.
