Time for Change!

Ok...so I'm going to go on a rant for just a second. I'm sick & tired of going to the grocery store, sticking to my thoroughly planned list, but still walk out spending $100/week for our family of three!!! Granted I'm also picking up some household items (toilet paper, soap, paper towels, etc.) most of the time but this is a huge chunk of money being spent out of our budget! After doing some quick research, I've decided to start making some things that we often use to help cut back on our costs. Here's a list of what I'd like to tackle:
  • Bread
  • Pizza crust
  • Pasta sauces
  • Disinfectant cleaner
  • Wood cleaner
  • Dishwashing soap
Of course I won't tackle all of these at once but I plan to try one (or two if I feel fiesty) a week. I'll keep you up to date on how each of these turns out...wish me luck!!

    Carrie I saw a link to your blog from Haley's my inlaws live next door to them. Anyways what I was saying is I could give you some recipes for cleaners. My mom makes a whole bunch of cleaners. I also make my own pasta sauce ( so much cheaper). I make my own pizza crust in my bread maker too. I am always about saving money.

    Thanks Haley! I'll let you know how they work. I'm trying to finish up the little bit I have left before I make some.
