How to stock on a budget? I know it seems impossible when you live payday to payday and if you’re anything like me most of the time the money is spent before the check is even cashed. Help is here. Anyone can do this!!
1- Determine your weekly grocery/household budget using the living or dying on a budget plan located on my site. Set aside a portion of that for stocking. (Ex. My budget allows for me to spend $150 per week on grocery/household items, of that amount I set aside $20.00 for stocking per week.)
2- Check for the weekly stocking item(s) on my home page. I update this every Sunday. (E-mail me if you need it sooner)
3- Visit couponmom.com for some excellent deals. I know coupons can be a pain the rear but if you can buy toothpaste for a quarter or shampoo for fifty cents it’s worth it. Start small, just focus on saving/coupon cutting the stocking items and not your total grocery list for now.
4- Now shop, save, build your stock and feel good knowing that you have 20 packages of HOT DOGS in the freezer to get you buy during those tight weeks.
Remember to only buy what you use and use it. This isn’t meant to be used as food storage. I am not to that point in my life where I will buy a 50lb can of rice or 5 gallons of dry milk either. But I do know what it’s like to have to fix Mac-n-cheese and HOT DOGS for breakfast because there’s no cereal left and payday isn’t for a few days.

Mommy, wife and lost but trying to find woman. That is what the subtitle of this website states. I find myself so lost within my own life as a mother and wife that I cannot remember the person I was before I took on those roles.
I needed to create a place where I could share some of the most amazing ideas, events and lessons that I have learned throughout my life but also to explore feelings and fears that I have kept to myself. I have never been one to really open up. I always preferred to hear the problems in other people’s life so I didn’t have to acknowledge the problems in my own. I am a giver for advice but seldom a taker. It’s not because I’m the all mighty and great and don’t have problems, it’s just simply because I don’t often share them. With that said the voice in my head eats me alive. I have to find an out for it, the good, the bad, and the ugly! My hope is that as I write I will discover who I am, where I’m at and what I want to become.
( editor’s note: the voice is not real. MOM I DONT NEED TO BE MEDICATED JUST YET!!)
