Groceries are one of our household's largest ongoing monthly expenses. It is also the place we can consistently save the most. By using resources like printable coupons, Ibotta and SavingStar we cut our grocery bill by a nice amount each week. To cut it even more I often check out these online blogs and communities:

Our family likes to make submarine sandwiches at home often. We like to make them on bakery buns, but that can get expensive. Recently I was at the store trying to find good ones, none looked too good, and they were pretty expensive.

Setting financial goals can often seem daunting. Saving for Christmas shopping or next years' vacation can be a difficult task and takes a little time, under a year, to accomplish. Larger financial goals, like saving cash for a new car, paying off a home mortgage or investing for retirement, can often seem impossible.

When G. K. Chesterton originally wrote, "Thrift is poetic because it is creative; waste is unpoetic because it is waste," it was in the context of upcycling trash--using everything you can. Upcycling does take creativity. Being thrifty with a budget also takes a creative thought process.
