How To Reduce Household Expenses eBook 2

By J. McKnight

You may have noticed that some food manufacturers, as a workaround to raising prices, are perhaps reducing the content, the packaging, or perhaps sometimes both. I for one, can appreciate efforts in keeping prices low. However, as a consumer you also have workarounds that are available to you to help you save too. It's my thinking that there is almost always some unidentified stretch to be had. For example, there is a part in the ebook that talks about meatless Mondays, and how you can actually spend more without being abreast of how to maximize the potential savings when using this awesome tool. You might be surprised just how hard this one savings tool can work when using some seldom presented information. 

Furthermore, you might be familiar with the saying that it is not as simple as it looks. This could definitely be the case when applied to meatless Mondays, as well as many others. It is my thinking as well, that it is almost always some probability that there is more to know about what we know that could translate into more stretch.

Hello, first and foremost, I'm a frugal girl in love with hard work, that I wholeheartedly enjoy. Frugality has not come cheap, from my experience, but has taken hours and hours of hard work, life experience, and research. Hello, my name is Joyce.  Being frugal is my lifestyle. I am a home economist, and former home extension volunteer.   This frugal ebook caters to anyone interested in stretching their food budget dollars. These are frugal tools in my frugal tool box that I have acquired and used over the years that did not disappoint.  I appreciate your interest, and it is my hope that you find that nugget of information that will assist you on your frugal journey of always learning and never reaching the destination of knowing it all.  If you are interested in learning about more frugal tools that are seldom addressed, but nevertheless I think are important to know about, let's keep in touch.

FOREWORD

Icould say that in this economic environment stretching your food budget dollars are extremely important, but instead I will say that learning to stretch a food budget is an idea that should always be on the table, perhaps every table, to some degree.

One thing I know is that a lot of us have learned is that regardless of our economic means, we all require food to survive. To lean too heavily on the status quo, as I see it is a risk to all, with eating not being an option, but a necessity in sustaining life. After all stretching those food dollars do require some food, and not just dollars to stretch. With some being more vulnerable than others, there still exist the probability that food insecurity can pop up anywhere.

It is my opinion that there is no such thing as normal. We have been fortunate in this environment to have take out, grocery store curb side service, and even home delivery service, all of which did not have to be.
