How to Save Money

[Guest]

“Stay away from precooked or premade foods. They are

VERY EXPENSIVE!”….

Unless they are on a Buy One Get One Free sale and you

have 2 coupons for them. Then sometimes they are much

cheaper than making it yourself.

Once you have been doing it for awhile, you will get

the hang of it. I keep a spreadsheet of what I spend

on each item I buy. Then I can see if the sale a

store has is really a good deal or not. I used to

spend around $400-600 a month in groceries (I do home

childcare and have to feed 6 kids breakfast, lunch and

snacks on top of my family’s meals)… I now spent

between $200-250. For the month of January I spent

$250 but I had stocked up on sodas… got 24 12-packs

for around $1 each at CVS on sale. That will last me

about 6 months but I won’t be able to find a sale like

that again for a LONG time so I stocked up.
