In our place veggies are less expensive than meat products. So from Mondays through Fridays mom is cooking veggies and seafood. Meat products are reserved only for weekends. 2. We seldom buy soda rather we just drink from filtered water. Juices are made from real juice extracts as they are less expensive than processed powdered juice drinks. 3. Our refrigerator has a water dispenser outside its door so we don’t have to close and open the refrigerator every time we want to drink water. Here are some tips that I learned from my mother:

I was under the impression that fast food in the States was cheaper than everything else : and that was why it was so popular. Clearly I must be wrong. Personally, in my country fast food is very expensive. I've never really seen the benefits of fast food at all, only that if I cannot cook there's nowhere else to go. Usually because the restaurants may be similarly priced, but you've got to pay for tips and everything. So, that's where they usually get me. Interesting that you said fast food was expensive?

Here's another one that works for me, since I was raised in a pretty modest environment by a single mom of two. I reuse my store bought bottles and jars to store my spices and homemade pickles. That way I don't end up spending tons at the Container Store. I also buy second hand books twice a year at the public library. That way I'm building my kiddo's library without spending a ton.

At least they were in the country environment I grew up in. I honestly don't know how people can do otherwise! In these days of big mortgages, increasing interest rates etc etc, if I want to give my kids the things I consider important from my childhood ie the music lessons, the sports, the books etc, then I have to watch the pennies somewhere. I honestly don't know how families do it that smoke and drink and buy big plasma TVs and pander to their kids requests for crap food and crappier toys. How do they afford it?!

Do you know how much energy that saves! I have been hanging out my laundry, and they smell so good! I know some housing developments do not want you to hang out laundry, but they need to change their policies! Mom and Grandmom of 6!
