Basic Saving Money Tips

Now more than ever we are trying to pinch our pennies and below are some basic tips on saving money.

• One way to save money is by watching what you eat.   First, try eating at home more often instead of going out. Sounds easy enough, but you’d be surprised how often you eat out.  You save more money buying groceries than eating in a restaurant. If you aren’t married yet, this could impress whoever you are dating because they know you can do this on your own.

Saved over $50!!

Yes, it’s true I saved $58 dollars on my grocery bill yesterday!!  Yep, you can close your mouth now, well not you..but that is what I told the cashier.  She was shocked after first seeing me stroll in with 2 grocery carts filled with food, thankfully my hubby joins me on these trips.  Then of course, I handed her my cloth bags to place all the items in, she was not too pleased about that, but I am doing my part in helping the environment.  I had to giggle each time someone would stand behind me in the checkout line and then do a complete u-turn to find another register.  I giggle because I only go to the grocery store one time a month to do this major shopping spree.  I will go to the store one other time during the month and that will usually be for milk or eggs.  So, as I was saying, the cashier was totally shocked after ringing up all my groceries and then running all my coupons through and noticed that I saved $58!!!

My Two Week Menu – incl. Thanksgiving

This 2 week menu includes my Thanksgiving meal as well.  My last menu was a bit disrupted because of family coming into town, but at least I have the ingredients and can add to my existing menu.  No worries, if you have the food you can always use it another day, it never goes to waste in my house!

So here’s my  2 week menu:

Week 1

Monday: Stewed Chicken (crock pot) with wild rice

Tuesday: Pasta Verde w/salad and garlic bread

Wednesday: Picadillo w/white rice

My 2-Week Menu

Wow!! This was difficult to do today.  However, I managed to pick 2 weeks worth of dinners for my family.

Each week we pick new favorites and rotate them in the menu.  I also go through my coupons and check out the circulars before deciding on my final menu.  So here’s my menu for the next 2 weeks, if there are any that may entice you, let me know and I will post the recipe along with photos.

Week 1

Monday – Shrimp Velveeta Pasta Dish (Cowboy Wife’s Recipe)

Tuesday – Lemon Chicken Casserole
