- We need more income
- We need grocery money
- We need to save in other areas too!
A lot on this Momma's mind and it really isn't a ton is it? I am looking at several ways to cut groceries. Living in the *somewhat* St. Louis area, I do follow 2 blogs pretty regularly. I had gotten away from it a while when I was at the preschool because that job took everything and then some out of me. I just couldn't do it all when I was there. I would go to check my email finally on a Friday evening and have over a thousand. It was awful. So I quit following like I wanted to. My 2 favorite blogs that share some of their money saving ideas and finds are:
STL Mommy
and
King Size Savings
They even offer giveaways periodically. I enter most... haven't won one yet.... My time is coming soon I hope!! LOL Today King Size Savings is having a giveaway for a gift card to one of 2 St. Louis Local grocery stores. (Click the link above to find the entry).
In addition to these blogs to try to save on groceries, I am contemplating doing home parties. Selling something useful like Tupperware, Avon (which both I have done in the past) or something else. I was at a Tastefully Simple party last night and they have a super good new consultant deal. I am REALLY considering it. But would I do well at parties? I live in a tiny town where everyone knows everyone. Once I get through that group of people will it continue. I love their products. I buy at EVERY party I get invited to so why not sell it and enjoy a discount? Nathan didn't seem to excited about it but maybe if I do well he'll change his mind.
I was going to apply for the janitor position at my church too. It was posted in the church bulletin for a couple weeks (including this past Sunday) but when I emailed for more information on it the secretary told me she believed it was already filled. Ho hum.... Seems it wasn't meant for me I suppose.
So that is where my mind is wandering today!! LOL On another note... my last MOPS meeting of this year is tonight. BUMMER!! I love MOPS!!!! Ho hum again!! Hehehehe!!!!
Have a wonderful day all!!!!
Have you learned to make freezer meals? Aside from couponing, that is how I save a ton on groceries! I spend $40 or less for my husband and I and our two year old daughter.
ReplyDeleteI quit my job to become a stay at home mom, so all I do for income is buy and resell stuff. My mother in law buys and resells furniture and jewelry, and vintage stuff. Maybe that's something you can also do.
I sold mostly on etsy.
Good luck! Those are quite a few things to juggle, but you can do it. Maybe you didn't get the janitor job because you will find something better!
Hi Elidet!! Thanks for reading. You are right. I probably didn't get it for that reason. There is always an underlying issue we don't understand...
DeleteI have thought about freezer meals but I will need a deep freeze or a larger freezer/fridge combo. Ours is kind of small and we have 2 children, but I am not pushing aside. I may do that in the very near future. Thank you for your suggestions!!!
