Well, the election is over, so maybe life will get back to "normal"... whatever that is! Been trying to come up with ideas for this blog and with the world as it is, I was thinking I'd try exploring ways to save money... might be good with the holidays coming up. However, if you've better stuff, questions about radio, music, etc... feel free to just throw that out there and we'll see where it goes.

So... how do YOU save money at the grocery store? I have two teenage boys and that spells Major Food Expense! My solution(s) is that I only buy what's on sale at the grocery store... my menus are all about what's on sale and what I can do with it. And yes, I COOK dinner every night... I don't know about you, but I can't afford to feed two boys at fast food joints or any other type of restaurant on any kind of a regular basis.... so I cook! I don't like cooking, but I do it to save money for paying the mortgage! I also have discovered purchasing beef from local folks. I've found that if I purchase a quarter or half beef and/or pig, then I put it all in the freezer (And I only have a 9 cubic foot freezer) and we eat well meat-wise for several months. Plus, I bypass the grocery store versions of beef and pork with all of their steroids, antibiotics, etc... so it's much healthier! That just leaves fruits and veggies ... staple stuff to buy at the store. It's really a big savings.

I'll just leave it at that for now... feel free to give me your ideas and any questions you have... what fun this might actually be!

Have a great day... or week... whenever I get back to this!
