I’m at a loss, and I need some help. We’ve been going over the monthly budget, and trying to figure what else we can cut to save a little bit more. I’m just out of thoughts on what to cut next.

We still have our satellite service, but we are down to just the essentials when it comes to the house. I don’t think we can cut the electric bill, the kids might not like that.

The groceries have been my biggest hurdle. I’m just not saving… I’ve couponed in the past, and shopped Aldi too. With gas prices, and multi-buys on the coupons the savings just aren’t there. I cook a lot, and try to make as many of the kids snacks that I can. That leaves me with a lot of extra dishes to wash. Today Dylan said to me, you really do live in the kitchen.

I’ve been making many things from scratch like, Salsa, Desserts, Dog shampoo, and even some clothing. I’m thinking of giving homemade laundry powder a try to see if that helps the grocery budget a bit.

Ugh, my head hurts, and my kitchen is a mess, and I have nine loads of laundry waiting for me. Help…
