Before I even start my child does not sleep under a crib on a piss soaked mattress. I don't save used toilet paper wadded with shit, to forment for later use.
We took advantage of the dwindling economy, we managed to buy a house that was apraised for $100,000.00 for $39,999.00. It is a very cute 900sft. 3 bedroom,single family home on an established, & safe neighborhood. Instead of getting a full blown 30 mortgage we took out a 10. Id be out of my mind to take a 30 on a 39k loan. Considering that's the cost of a brand spanking new car these days. We drive a used truck that looks like it has been through hell & back, don't laugh its paid for ! We keep it in great running shape & I make sure to it's safe for the kids.
I do alot of things to cut the grocery bill. We buy everything in bulk & seperate all the meat, poultry, ect.. I divide everything into 6 servings & vacumn seal it into a bag. It takes me about 3 hours to seperate, bag, & throw it in the deep freezer. I also noticed since I have been bagging the meat into servings we have saved money & less waste.
We also buy canned goods by the bulk .I buy chips, candy, nuts, cookies in individual bags (It's always fresh & doesn't stale, less to be thrown out later). It works great, we even put pizza rolls,french fries,ect.. into individual serving sized bags with the food saver. When the kids get hungry & want to have a snack they just take out what they need.
My only draw back is I love to shop for clothes. So I only shop deep clearance, I also only shop name brand items. Why settle for for knock offs. Name brand items have great resale value!! I do use a washing machine, it's not the 1800s you know. Although I don't use the dryer (dryer costs too much to run). So I hang dry everything. When I go to resell everything is in excellent condition.
