We are all pinching pennies these days and everyone I run into is looking for ideas to make the wallet a little fuller with out sacraficing everything. One way is by getting creative with your meal planning and grocerie bill. I found this great site I had to share for creating a meal plan for your family for $5 a meal! Lets face it we can’t all eat top roman all the time and with no real end in site considering new options for your meals may really help the budget and ensure your diet doesn’t go down the drain trying to stay cheap!

I love Jean Chartzky! She really tells is how it is! There are lots of women out there to help give us ideas on how to better manage our money, so don’t feel like you have to spend all your time and money fallowing just one. Pick a few and compare notes. If you find you identify with ones style then you may want to invest in thier material or seminares. Jean is one I have put on my short list for sure. Check her out or catch her on TV

Who is on your short list, where do you get the most of your financial advise? I want to know!

Recently I caught a man being interviewd on a national morning show it caught my attention because his topic was how to save $25,000 a year. Most of his stuff made some sense but seemed a little tight even for me. Check it out and let me know what you think. Could you live with out some of these things? If not what are some other ways you all are finding to save a dime?
