I am a stay at home mom and we live on a tight budget. Coupons are the best way to go. I have joined tons of sites. I get free coupons and even free samples. You can get coupons online and in the Sunday paper. If you want to know more send me a message and I will help you out. I am kind of a budgeting nut but I make things work. Don't worry I'm not trying to spam or anything. I am just trying to help out.
You gotta do your homework and check out the sales. Replace the red meat your would normally buy and get turkey and chicken instead. Use coupons!! If you're not into that, then start. I save thousands of dollars a year just by clipping coupons. Don't go out to eat, but instead cook at home. It's possible, I promise! I feed a family of 3 (and a dog) for less than $200.00 a month. :) If you don't mind me asking, where do you live?
