Saving Money

I have been on a mission to save money for the past couple of years. It all started when my husband, Derek, was laid off from work. I worked, at the time, for McDonald's as a manager. We struggled for a while, but with the grace of God, we made it through. Today, we still have our months where it seems we won't make it. It's during these months that I find myself looking for new ways to make the dollar stretch.
The purpose of this blog is to share with everyone what I find. My hopes are that someone might have an easier time based on my findings. I will share with you all how I am able to go to the grocery store and save a good $50 or more a trip. I will share my recipes for making laundry detergent (which, I might add, gets our clothes cleaner than the store-bought varieties I once bought!), fabric softener, and many other household cleaners! I will, also, let you into my other little money-saving secrets! If anyone has any secrets that they would like to share, feel free to post them in the comments.
