    Are people like me able to do grocery budgets?

    School lunches at our school are a little tricky. They have requested that the kids have healthy lunches. No sugary fruit snacks, no candy, no cookies, etc. They also request that there be no garbage. My kids have a sandwich for lunch, or crackers and cheese, or veggies with hummus. For snacks...

    Are people like me able to do grocery budgets?

    We are a family of 5, and I try to keep our monthly grocery budget under $400 a month. I'm probably going to repeat a lot of things that have been mentioned. The biggest life saver when it comes to keeping a balanced budget is meal plans. If we didn't have a meal plan in place, we found that we...

    There are 496 posts on this topic but after searching through 200 of them I was not able to find the answer to my question. I have mild OCD when it comes to collecting things.

    Here is a different take on the 52 week challenge....

    I actually think that this way will work better. November and December are the months that most people are spending more because of the holidays. If you are putting the larger amounts away sooner, than come Christmas you won't feel overwhelmed with the amount you need to be putting away for...

    Free Disney Dining Plan Question

    If the option of free dining comes out for my travel dates, do I have to cancel my reservation and rebook to get it? I'm planning on booking at BLT and would love to get free dining.

    One Year to Save!!

    I was so happy with myself. In the past 3 weeks I've managed to save $200. And earn $20 in survey rewards, and $50 in free groceries. Then I woke up this morning, on the coldest day ever, and my van won't start. Savings is now probably going to have to go towards a new battery. This proud momma...

    One Year to Save!!

    I've just started the saving/budgeting for my Disney trip. I totally understand where you are coming from. I hate how we Canadians don't have the same coupon system as they do in the states. Our coupons totally suck. I just started using swag bucks, and I like how they have coupons, plus you...
