Hey everyone,
So in the past few months my family and I have had interesting circumstances which resulted in us having to spend too much $$. Now, we're trying to review all of our spending and see where we can actually save and recover properly. It seems household expenses (groceries, cleaning supplies, toiletries) take a huge chunk of our income on a monthly basis.
I wanted to ask for your advice. What do you and your families do to save money on these kind of expenses? Do you utilize any apps/websites that show where the best prices are for food or household items? What is your strategy to ensure getting the most savings?
Some steps we've started taking, towards making positive savings are:
-Keeping a record of transactions made (any and every, per day).
-limit going shopping, to only 1 time per week.
-not eat out at restaurants (eat more at home, drink/make/take coffee from home).
I know we have a long way to go, and a lot of waste to cut out, but I realize that I'm not doing a good job on my own, and could really use some help. Please share your ideas, and thank you in advance!
P.S. if there are any recommended apps, websites, spreadsheets, anything that you think can help, please share. Thank you!
