Learning how to lower our grocery budget became a hobby of mine by necessity a few years ago. We looked okay from the outside I guess. We had a car, we drove to church every week, and we never talked about our finances with anyone, but in reality, we only drove to church - I tried to hitch a ride Keep Reading
How To Make Quick, Cheap, Healthy Meals
One of the conundrums we face as moms is, uh, well, time. I don’t think it matters how old your kids are, or how many you have, but I can tell you for sure that when you have a couple young kids at home full-time, it’s hard to get anything done efficiently, and you never have as much time as you Keep Reading
Our $40 Weekly Grocery Budget (For a Family Of Four)
So guys. I was recalculating our budget at the beginning of the month and it hit me: once we get moved into our new debt-free house and therefore stop paying rent, we will easily be able to live on $1,500 a month or less.

Why You Should Be Making Christmas Plans Right Now
I know, I know, we’re just starting to get Back To School under way, but my little brother jokingly suggested we get him something (really expensive) for Christmas this year, and I immediately shot back that he’d be lucky to get a box of candy. …And I’ve been thinking about Christmas every Keep Reading

There are usually two kinds of people who want to live on $2,000 a month or less.

In fact, I was waaaaay south of the wrong side for Keep Reading
How To Get Awesome + Affordable Clothes From The Comfort Of Your Own Home
I recently wore a new dress to church, and was surprised to receive multiple compliments. So I wore the dress to a wedding, then to another church.

Several months ago, Gabe and I took a leap and bought a 40 year old mobile home to move out the farm, renovate, and live in for… at least several years.

How To Get The Best-Ever Meat Prices
Y’all, I’m not kidding when I say that we eat very cheaply, and I’m also not kidding when I say that you can too.

My Honest Review Of EBates
So several months ago, I ran into this thing called eBates. Oh, I’d heard of it off and on for a long time, but until a friend finally talked me into trying it, I was content to do all my online rewards shopping through Swagbucks (which is still one of my favorite websites ever!). eBates works Keep Reading
