Ways We Save

Today's post is simple in that I do not have much of an introduction.  This is a list of ways my husband and I work together to save money and stick to our budget:

• Cut and use coupons for groceries, clothes, and car maintenance
• Make your own baby food
• Use free entertainment such as hiking, renting movies from the library, or playing games
• Bring your lunch to work
• Make your own coffee in the morning
• Cook your own dinners/meals
• In recipes, cut meat and fish with mashed beans
• Make breakfast for dinner
• Use cold water to wash clothes
• Be aware of electricity use by turning off lights and electronic equipment 
• Buy generic brands 

Feel free to add ways you and your family save!
