New New New

Okay so I have taken all this time to look at all these money saving blogs and yummy easy recipes and hopefully I will have a list of my favorite ones up here soon so that we can all be on the same wave length here.

With new changes to state and Government it has been sucking my family dry of our resources. I am very committed to find new ways to shop and save. Ways other than couponing. Which most of you have heard is the new saving money method.But, since I am in a very small community with extremely limited resources available to me, I am going to try my best!!

I am not on my own computer at the moment so this is going to be a short post right now.

If anyone is out there reading this, please feel free to click Follow and keep up with me here at Penny Pinching & Me.

So, to start here, I am going to be compiling a list of things that I normally purchase for the household and how much that we spend. With the prices of everything at the Grocery stores lately its no wonder why we can't make it anymore. Start with household items. Toilet tissue, paper towels, dish soap, laundry soap, shampoo and conditioner, body and hand soap, tooth paste and so on. Write down how much those items normally cost wherever you usually buy them. (I will be posting my list on here to show you how I am gathering my total costs.) Then move on to your normal food costs. Milk, cheese, bread, hamburger, poultry, fish, pasta, sauces, pb&j etc. If you have a family like I do, the kid things are extremely necessary. Also, if you are a baker, like I am, make a list of things you would use to bake. Flour, sugar/sweetner, wheat germ, baking soda, eggs, all that bliss. We are going to target specific areas to help keep our costs down.

So, with that said, I will get my list made tonight (or try too) and than I will get it posted as soon as I can. Feel free to have your friends or fellow Bloggers come find my Blog and we can join forces. :)

Happy blogging Everyone!!!
