O.k. the stinkin' election is over.  No more stress about that.  And I'm not going to worry and fret over the future, concerning our next president.  I will pray - but I won't stress.

You know why?  Because gas prices are lower than they've been in a long, long time.  I'm going to wait until my little Prius is nearly empty (which could be awhile) and fill it up before they raise the prices again.

Now, we will turn our focus in a new direction.  Saving money.  How does a stay-at-home, homeschool mom save money?  We don't eat out more than once a month, Todd packs a lunch, we don't buy coffee anywhere, we both drive hybrids, Todd only drives 4 miles to work, we don't have TV, much less cable or DSL, we heat with wood, make as much as possible from scratch, Todd is our resident hair stylist, we are not paying for lessons for anything.  The price of a Sunday paper is now $2.50 so I stopped buying it but I'm having trouble finding grocery coupons - it takes a lot of work and time to find them on the internet but I do it anyway.  If I can find $1.00 of coupons in one or two hours, I consider that significant (pathetic, right?)  But it's the best I can do for now.

So, I would love to hear how YOU save money - anything.  Any idea you have or something that is working for you.  I want to know!
