Putting together the cheap menu

The key to saving money at the grocery store, to me, is menu planning. Without a shadow of a doubt! Besides the coupons you can have - shopping the sales and creating cheap meals are essential.

Here's how I do it.

First, I look to my own pantry and freezer. What do I already have? And what can I make from the items I already have on hand.

Make a list of the ingredients I need to make meals from what I already have. See if any of these items are on sale for the week.

Look at the sales flyers and see what meats are on sale. What can I make from these with the other sale items?

I get a blank week menu out Download Bwmenu and start to jot down meal ideas.

I then go back through ad make sure everything I need is on my list. Then I'll draw a little star next to the items I have coupons for.

And that's it in a nut shell!

Happy Savings!

Popeye does help kids eat thier veggies

I'm sitting here watching my son chow down on some green spinach. Not because I asked him too. But because he watches Popeye on Cartoon network. And when Popeye eats spinach he gets strong.

A few big handfuls go in and he runs over to show me his strong muscles, which I exitedly assure him they are growing as we speak.

It makes me realize how impressionable our young kids are.

With Spongebob selling kids meals, and movie characters as prizes our kids are bombarded with unhealthy eating alternatives.

You know what the whole magic part of this is. . . it's up to me to say NO.

No, this isn't healthy. I'm not buying a burger and fries, I don't care who is in the box. It is not good for you.

You know why I bought the spinach, because it was healthy. I want him to eat it. And a big THANK YOU to the creators of Popeye that he eats spinach to get energy instead a chomping a chocolate bar and sugar laden energy drink.

Here are some healthy alternatives to fast food kiddie foods:

Create Your Own Happy Meal:  I found that my son especially really only wants to go to McDonalds for the toy in the happy meal. So now, when I go to garage sales or yard sales, at the dollar store - pick up little toys. Many times little kids are selling their old toys for 5cents to a quarter. Buy from these little guys. You'll make their day.

Then just keep them and place them into a packed pic nic lunch.

Any Ideas?

I hope everyone had a great 4th!

I hope you had a fantastic 4th of July!!!

We did. We went to see fireworks where I face painted for the day. Even though we didn't get to hang out at a BBQ with friends, we still had a fun day.

My husband and kids came to help me out during the day and we got caught in a rain storm. So we just hunkered down under the canopy until the rain stopped.

The fireworks were great and the kids loved them.

It doesn't matter where I am, as long as the family is near by - it's a good time!!!
