Default Re: My Money Crisis-Help Please

Well for cheap quick easy meals heres a few ideas generic frozen lasagania this is a great one 3.97 at walmart feeds my family of 5 with leftovers & can be made in the microwave on weekends when I work I buy them banquet meals & I buy them for dhs work to they are $1 a piece!!! Also for some strange reason my kids love those cheap noodle soups they are .15 a piece just microwave & add water!!! And with summer here you can garden or barter or ask someone with a garden almost anyone for some veggies those are great much better than store & lots cheaper!!

And oldest dd is a huge bottle water fan & uses all the to go packs now well to save money she reuses the same water bottle!! Try to learn to make 1 thing a week from scratch like waffles or something these are super good & easy & I make tons at a time & then freeze much better than store bought much!!!

Then I would cut the cells as for school stuff I am not sure why so much we buy notebooks & all of that for usually like .10 & under & clothes I just buy on clearance out of season I know in the last year I havent spent $500 on myself & my 3 girls I also garage sale once in awhile but I shop old navy & jcpenney clearances I buy a size to big or 2 for my 3 girls recently got a old navy swimsuit for $2 for next year & snow boats originally $20 for $3 out of season just a few tips anyways!!
