Here are a few ideas and tricks to help you SAVE Honey's money AND stay home...
- Grow your food - think of the money you could save!!!
- Make your laundry detergent {costs a penny a load!}.
- Cut out - or at least back - on the manicures, gormet coffees, and other unnecessary things.
- Find a friend that cuts hair and ask her if you can babysit in exchange for a hair cut.
- Find a friend that has a work out system and ask her if you can clean her house in exchange for a couple of free work outs a week.
- You won't have to pay for child care if you're home watching your children.
- You won't have to pay for an extra car or gas if you're staying home and not driving to work everyday.
- You won't spend as much on fast food or eating out if you're not out during the day and your honey {and his money/bank account} will be thrilled to come home to a hot, home-cooked meal every night!
- Use your leftovers. Don't throw them out. Left over veggies from Monday make a great veggie soup on Tuesday!
Together, we can - and will - come up with creative ways to save money!

Using leftovers is one I really struggle with. Having all these boys that eat like every meal might be their last, the amount of leftovers is pretty small. Many times they end up sitting in the fridge, never making their way back to the table. Looking forward to a series dedicated to saving money!!
