Penny Pincher

It's been two weeks since we started our simple way of saving a few dollars.
You'll be surprise how much money you spent everyweek if you kept eating out or buying lunch plus the gas consumed driving to restaurants or fastfood stores. I've been getting really early , like 6am , which is VERY early for a night owl like me. This way I have plenty of time to make my own breakfast,sit & read the news while eating, get the kids & husband's lunch ready and then give the kids shower,change clothes, fix hair....all the works before we could even set our foot out the door.
The night before I would cook simple dishes that DH could take to work for lunch the next day. This is kinda challenging at the beginning trying to get stuff organized & ready to go but I am slowly getting the hang of it.
Small steps but surely helps keep $$ in our pockets.
