Hey all, there is a GREAT printable coupon out right now for $2 off Smart Balance milk (use zip code 32825). This is running about $2.99 a carton at most stores which makes the milk about $.99 a piece. However, it doesn't end there.....a little bird is saying that there will be a mail in rebate in most 6/27 Sunday papers. Now we don't know how much this rebate will be for, but it could potentially make for some free milk! So, go ahead and print out as many of these coupons as you can, and make sure you pick up this coming Sunday paper. If you are anything like my family with a 14 month old and a "milkaholic" husband, you could really use a break when purchasing milk.

When looking at our finances I realized that the number one reason we built up debt is because of how much we spent on food. We eat out often, purchase lots of food and then watch it go to waste. So I decided that we are slashing our food bill from over $600 to $300 a month. $100 of that is for baby formula and the other $200 will cover my husband and I for the whole month. The difference will go to pay off debt. So we are basically paying debt off one meal at a time! Wish me luck!

Eating on $1 a Day
I was recently asked if I had any tips for people eating on $30 a month or $1 a day. Though my family is not following such a strict food budget, I feel it is possible to do.
So, to help those who are struggling financially, I wrote an article with a grocery list, meal plan and tips for a person to eat on $1 a day on both the short term and the long term. If you are interested in reading it to get ideas, you can go here.

Let's Try Again
Well, it has been a very long time since I updated this blog. There have been quite a few changes to our financial situation.
First, my husband and I completed our goal of becoming debt free. Thanks to some hard work and a great tax refund (completely unexpected) we finished paying off his truck and then some back in February. So I am happy to say WE'RE DEBT FREE!!!!!!!! Man that was nice to type.
Though this was a great financial accomplishment, we are still looking at some hard times ahead. My husband decided he wanted to pursue his college degree and will be joining the Green to Gold program the Army provides. During this time the Army will pay for my husband's college and give us a little extra on the side to cover our rent. Since I only work from home and he will be attending college full time, this will leave us with very little cash on hand and we are going to need to be eating on a little as possible. So, I decided it was time to start working on this blog again.
Our goal once we move to College Station, TX is going to be to eat on $300 a month. We will luckily have access to several more stores than we do here, which should provide better deals than we have had access to. I am really looking forward to start posting great deals, meal ideas and frugal living tips.
