Money Matters Monday

In these times of rising prices on almost everything we need, I am always looking for ways to help stretch my husband's income. Being a stay at home mom of a large family has forced me to become creative in many ways, espescially in the area of stretching our budget. I have learned to make my own laundry soap,cook almost all of our meals from scratch, use the air conditioner as little as possible, and many other things. I do most of our grocery shopping at Aldi and sometimes utilize the Angel Food Ministries program if they have things we use. We stay home more and find things to do at home-board games, play outside, etc. Here are some links I have found useful.

Thanks for all the websites. I know you really have to make that money go far. I need to plant more of my own I guess and maybe try the soap.
