My husband is on disability. I stay at home, and raise our two girls, 6 and 4. The oldest goes to school, where she has to wear a uniform, and they arent cheap. Plus, she's at the stage where she's growing a pant size at least twice a year.
I heard that if you eat at least one homemade meal a month, you save over $425 a year. So, if you make a homemade meal every night, you are actually saving thousands a year. Drop the home phone number. Drop the cable channels you dont watch. Stop the Tivo subscriptions. Drop all magazines, books, video rentals. Make it a habit that at least once a week, you go to the library to check out some books, mags, or even videos to rent for free. Take a weekend and check out free concerts, bbq cookoffs...whatever is in your area.
We had to learn the hard way to make one check last through the monthly bills, plus last for the extras (tp, toothpaste, medicines) throughout the month.
At least, on the bright side, spring is coming, so the heater bill will lower. Hope it helps, good luck.
