saving and budgets


We feel like everyone has been talking finances recently: how expensive things are, how people are trying to save more,how people are paying down debt and cutting back and it got us thinking.

Things that we are trying to do is eating out less. Making Kit's lunch and our own coffee are also part of that too. We also notice that we eat so much healthier when we do.
What has been a cost saver for your family?
Do you bring a lunch to work? Do you make your own coffee instead of buying out? Are you a coupon family? Do you carpool? Do you share your kids toys and clothes? Are there things that you only buy in bulk or places that you will only buy gas? Do you make your won cleaning supplies?

There are so many little tips that families do on a regular basis that we would love to know about as we are trying to make the best decisions as we add a new member to our family (and budget.)

ps: i came across this website for lunch ideas for kids bag lunches and I thought it was interesting so I thought I would share it with you.
