Oh the fun of being frugal!!!
This month we are focusing on different ways to be frugal!
At a recent Relief Society meeting, Sister Tricia gave us a few ideas with grocery shopping to make that skinny little dollar stretch more like Stretch Armstrong.
Here are some of her ideas:
I buy in bulk. I don't use coupons because they usually are for items that I don't normally buy. My flour, sugar, rice, oat, beans, ect. I have stored in 5 gallon buckets. Look up the sales online before going shopping to see which store is offering the best deals. Buy tomato sauce, fruit in #10 cans and you also can buy vegatables this way. Way cheaper and makes lots of different meals.
I found a new site with TONS of good ideas and info. Here is a page with more ideas on being frugal!

....And another thing.....
Comfort food means different things to different people. Chocolate is a comfort food to many...while some prefer Sister Leann's carrot cake...yummo! You are the only one who can decide what is classified as "comfort food" for you and your family.
Comfort food is to help with "emotional survival" and not necessarily a "physical survival". I vacuum sealed some "Oreo" cookies last week. Not exactly nutritional, but oh so necessary...after all it is milk's favorite cookie! Here are a few ideas to get you started thinking about what type of things you'd like to store away (they are even fun to pull out in a non-emergency...they have to be rotated too right?)
Some of the comments under the article have some good advice too.
