No kidding, for more than a year, every time we are in the Christian book store, I browse through this book and want to purchase it but never do. To my surprise, included with my Mary Kay order from Amy was this menu and coupon organizer!
I am excited to try it and put it into practice in February and see how we do. Lately, our lives have centered around how we can save money and still give to others. I'm hoping this will be a tool that will allow us to cut back on food costs and free up some funds for giving and saving.
Who knew that going down to one income would create these kinds of issues? ;)
In the meantime, Emma turned 20 months old today. I cannot believe my sweet little 8 pound baby is now a 28 pound toddler. She is so full of personality right now that every day leaves me laughing, exhausted and hopeful for what God has planned for her little life.
Here's to saving money and to figuring out how to remove ink stains from everything I own!
I stress about going down to one income, but know it will come sooner or later. My husband and I have worked it out so he watches the boys during the day and studies at night and I swap. It's been nice, but we're wearing thin.
ReplyDeleteAlso, about meal planning, I haven't got this gals ebook (http://52bites.com/), but her sample was genius for meal planning. She sets up a google calendar and has the meals repeat!!! I thought that was brilliant!
Happy saving!
Wow, your cousin Amy sounds so thoughtful and generous :) You sure are one lucky girl!
ReplyDeleteReally, though, I'm glad you like the book. And I'm glad you're putting it to use. One income is hard to do, but if anyone can do it, it's YOU! Call me soon!
