One Really Can be Frugile and Not Go Hungry








When my husband said that we were going to budget $250 for groceries a month, I thought he was nuts. He has a lot of great ideas, but this didn't seem to be one of them. I have come to see that he had another great idea!! Instead of shopping for the month at Walmart and buying "ahead", we now just shop for the week ahead, alternating from Walmart one week and then to a discount grocery store the next week! I am amazed at how much money we have saved and what we can actually do without!!! And, we are not wasting food as much as we were before! Being on this adoption journey and really trying to cut corners with our expenses has not only been educational but fun!! The wild thing about it too is that we are spending even less than $250! :)
