The Family Piggy Bank
Ok, I know the obvious, I am looking at finding some other ways to tighten up our budget. Things are going to be tight for a few months, and I would love to save some extra cash in the process.
Ideas?

I highly recommend a book called "The Complete Tightwad Gazette", look it up on Amazon, it is a very worthwhile investment, using this book we got through a couple of rough years where we had to support 5 people on one person's income, & we did it. I still use the lessons learned in this book & I frequently look in it still, it is the one book I always know where it is. LOL!

I bargain shop and shop the ads. When I see things on sale I get a few or more of things. I use a lot of coupons as well and have a stock pile. I do off brands as well. Krogers has frozen veggies for $1 each and I get those when I go to Krogers and a few other things. I am going to go look at Aldi's and Save a lots soon to see their deals as well.
