Instead of take out or processed foods, we're eating lots more lean meats, whole grains, and fruits and vegetables. We're eating better tasting foods and saving over half our food budget! It's fantastic! I’ve just started once a month cooking and I love it. Instead of take out or processed foods, we’re eating lots more lean meats, whole grains, and fruits and vegetables.

You can make a week's worth of sandwiches for about the cost of buying ONE! Or leftovers from dinner... if you have access to a microwave or toaster oven... will give you a good, nutritious meal. I bring snacks; fruit, notes and that sort of thing... even my own snak cakes (LOVE Little Debbie) which are about a tenth the cost of what they have in the vending machines. Make your own ice tea, too, for pennies. When you DO want to go out, go someplace decent... maybe once a week or every other week... or never, depending on your budget.

I love the money saving tips found on this site, I think with all the financial worries going around at the moment, we all need to be more aware of our spending. I thought I would share my new tip with you, I have now recently become a bit of a fan of electronic greetings cards. I have spent ages on the internet and have found a really cool <a href="http://www.ecards.co.uk" rel="nofollow">free eCard greetings </a> site. I think this is such a great idea as a money saving technique! I dread to link how money I have spent over the years on papers cards, and postage! I like this particular site because it always seems to have new designs to choose from, so I have never become bored. They also have a great application called 'Face It' where you can upload your own photos to add that extra personal touch, which is a great idea. I hope this piece of information helps, let me know!
