Since I have been married our family has been a two income family. However, back in April we became a single income family. Since then I have been trying to find ways to stretch every dollar and just make the most of everything without all the waste.
There are two adults and two growing boys in the house, so we go through the groceries and the garbage.
For the past few years I have done the minimum things like:
Recycle
Change out regular bulbs for the efficient ones
Go in 1/2 with another family to buy a cow and freeze the beef once it was butchered (this saves so much money on buying meat throughout the year)
Grow my own herbs and fresh veggies in the summer instead of buying them.
Well, now with the single income I have been trying to work on ways to save money and reduce our families "foot print" on the environment as the kids continue to grow and learn from our habits.
This blog will serve as a go to guide for us on how to be frugal and more environmentally friendly. Feel free to take any of these ideas and use them to help your family.
