• 2012 $50 Weekly Menu Week #22

      2012 $50 Weekly Menu Week #22: This week is a Meat re-stocking week! If you follow the sales cycles you already know that Memorial weekend is an excellent time to find great deals on steaks, ribs, chops and chicken breast.
      We've saved a great deal of money from previous weeks budgets, coming in under
      $50 nearly every week. This week we stocked up on boneless skinless chicken breast, ribs, roasts and chops for a grand total of $113.

      In addition to the meat we picked up several fresh pineapples, mangoes, kiwi fruit and fixings for salads.

    • Presenting . . .

      The average family of 4 in the United States spends more than $700 a month on groceries alone. In the “2012 Family Guide to Groceries under $250 a Month" the author outlines how and where to cut grocery expenses to get spending under control while opening the consumers eyes to little known dirty manipulation tactics employed by retailers to seduce unsuspecting customers into spending sprees.

        For many people struggling to maintain a budget, the cost of groceries is the only major expense in their control that can be drastically reduced without feeling a negative impact on their lifestyle. Liss explains in detail how to make simple changes that will not only pinch pennies, but help pinch Benji’s too!

      The 57 pg eBook is available on  Kindle (& Kindle's Free PC reader!)
