anyone have any money saving advice?
| Fri, 05-07-2004 - 12:44pm |
I am currently working 3 different part time jobs as a teacher. Only one of them continues over the summer, and one of them ends entirely in June - so money is going to be much tighter than usual for a while (possibly permanently, I don't know!). I've eliminated the non-essentials, such as cable tv, and I'm paring down what expenses I can. Our biggie is always our mortgage payment, which is just covered by my husband's monthly pay, so I have to cover pretty much everything else, and I'm trying to still swing a few recreational activities for the kids this summer. Any other ideas, especially in terms of whittling down the grocery budget? There is a Costco an hour from here, and I'm wondering if the savings would pay for the membership fee and gas - I've never been a Costco member before. In our small town, "healthy" foods - like fresh produce and lean cuts of meat, are pretty expensive and not always the highest quality!

Washington brands....at QFC we used to buy stockpot soup, made locally, and now I see it's available nationally (at Sams, of course). For lunch today (speaking of Seattle so much here) I had some Seattle smoked salmon!!!
