Today's Tips:
Don't forget to keep a few bottles of water in the fridge now that we are heading into summer. When you are ready to run out the door grab one. These are also great for picnics or for on a trip. Place them in with your food cooler to help keep it cool.
I really love the small bottles that chocolate milk comes in at Burger King for kids' drinks. They are smaller and narrower which makes them easier for small hands to hold on to. This especially helps reduce spills in the car. We don't get these bottles often but when we do I just take them home, peel off the labels and wash them. I then freeze them with water or fill with lemonade.

Is the thought of reducing your grocery budget overwhelming you? Do you wish you had a step by step plan to show you what to do?
Crystal Paine, author of Secrets to Supermarket Savings, has developed an entire step by step course to teach you how to do it, including audio lessons, hands on assignments and 6 bonus e-books.
When I looked at the description of this e-course, I just couldn't believe how much stuff is included! The best part is that Crystal has offered it to our readers for only $8.97.

David and I celebrate 3 'special' days a year. The day we met, Jan.3The day we started living together 4-25, (yes, we did "live in sin" for a while, there were many reasons at the time) and 9-17 our real wedding date. It is nice to have 3 special days a year. We do not do anything really expensive, but we just acknowledge our special day. Most of the time it is a special dinner, I make for just the 2 of us, sometimes we go to a movie (always the dollar movie) and sometimes it is a special weekend. We save for those trips. It is so fun. A hotel room, just the two of us, and we talk and talk...my idea of paradise. Roxie
My Tip for saving money with kids.
My tip is this: Plant a garden with your children. It is cheeper and healthier to get fresh produce from your own back yard. Kids love to plant, water and watch it grow. Best of all, you can use this time to learn about science while growing your garden. You can study how water and light affect plants, you can learn about the parts of the plants and pollenization and reproduction of plants.
