What is a Slush Fund? {and how to get started}

July 23, 2015 by Sarah

If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, then you already know that we had some hefty expenses over the past few months.  We knew that we would need new tires soon and that we were living on borrowed time with our roof.  We were just hoping to wait as long as possible before biting the bullet and spending all that money. I don't know about you, but those are not items that I enjoy spending … [Read more...]

Financial Tips for Newlyweds

July 16, 2015 by Sarah

The Teacher and I will have been married for 12 years on Sunday.  Since summer tends to be a big wedding season and since my anniversary is just around the corner, I've been a little nostalgic recently.  I've talked on the blog about my love story, things that I'd tell myself as a newlywed, but never much regarding newlywed couples and finances. I started thinking back to those early newlywed … [Read more...]

Ways We Save: Reusable K-Cup Filters

Ways We Save: Making Baby Food

May 19, 2015 by Sarah

Making baby food is a great way to save money and it's so much easier than you might think!

One of the things I have enjoyed about nursing is that it is FREE!  I know that it's not an option for everyone, but I make sure to enjoy the money savings for as long as I can.  While moving to solids does mean an increase in costs for feeding baby, switching over to solids doesn't have to necessarily break the bank.  Making baby food is one of those ways to keep costs down. Now that our … [Read more...]

Frugal Fridge & Freezer Staples

April 22, 2015 by Sarah

Last week, I shared my list of frugal pantry staples.  My list was very basic {only 10 items} and I kept it that way on purpose.  That list was meant to serve as a starting point for anyone looking to get stocked up on basic, commonly used ingredients to be used in meal prep. This week, I wanted to do the same thing, except with the fridge and freezer.  Keep in mind that these items may not seem … [Read more...]
