Baby Food and Saving Money
by Ryan Loos on Sep.25, 2009, under Budgeting
My wife started making home made baby food for our son to save us some cash. It was a great adventure for the family when we went to apple orchard to pick apples last weekend. We are saving money and becoming closer as a family, all thanks to my wife and her objective to cut our grocery bill down. What are you doing to help cut costs? Is it bringing your family closer together or driving you apart?

Ryan,
Thanks for the great tips.
It is truly amazing how much we can do for ourselves that accomplishes more than the original intent. Kristyn decided to do something to save a few dollars, and perhaps provide a healthier alternative for your family, and it turns out you found an activity that everyone could do together.
My wife started container gardening this year. Simple tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini and strawberries. As it turns out, we are saving a few dollars a month and eating more vegetables than we might have otherwise. The sense of accomplishment and the realization of what we can do on our can inspire our kids in a way we might not have expected.
I don’t have much of a green thumb so my son and I built a nice potting bench for my wife to use. We used some lumber that was leftover from an old play structure that we dismantled last year. A win-win.
