Mom Life with Adrienne

Hey loves. Every week I do these few simple steps that have helped save our family hundreds of dollars a year on our grocery budget. This is without slaving away all day in the kitchen, cutting coupons and running to 5 different stores every week, or eating crazy amounts of leftovers. 

Grocery prices are through the roof, and any little bit of saving money helps. Along with that is also not wasting food. As a budget conscious family of 5, I have been determined to help cut our grocery bill, without eliminating healthy foods and some convenience, and have succeeded. I am sharing with you all my tips to help your family. 

 Hey loves. Happy Monday. How was your weekend? For the most part it was solo parenting with just Anna and Austin. Brian went with the guys to watch The Ohio State Football game and I stayed home to do all the normal weekend activities from produce pickup to soccer to fun with friends. We also became official members of our church yesterday, being welcomes by the whole congregation, Brian was home for this. Overall a great start to October. 

It's the second Monday of the month which means it's time for Not Just A Mom link up with these amazing ladies: Dara, Jen, Joanna, Lauren, and Sarah.

Hey loves. How is your summer going? We just recently got back from a road trip from Ohio to Florida. On the way there we had planned to drive (yes we are nuts and yes all 3 kids went with us) but ended up getting a hotel for 5 hours because we left earlier than originally planned and had some time to waste before we could get into our hotel. On the way home we made two stops in Tennessee.

Going on a road trip can get expensive, especially if you are prepared in advance and buying food along the way. Which we ended up doing and spent more money than we wanted and got fast food that made me feel blah. Sometimes we have to learn from our mistakes. Next year when we go cross country we will be more prepared. 

 These are some easy ways to save money on a road trip
