[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Clip coupons, shop for groceries at Costco and buy in bulk (and divide).  Homecooked meals ONLY (you can make large pots of soups, stew etc. and freeze leftovers).  Make a bi-weekly meal plan and shop accordingly.  There are some great time and money-saving meal tips in the Food Section at DCUM.  Cut cable and preschool.  Take your children to free events, library, park etc.  Shop for clothing at thrift stores, consignment sales or get free stuff on Craigslist or Free Cycle.  Get rid of stuff in your house that you do not need.  You can sell it on Ebay or Craigslist or hold a Yardsale.  Cut out cable (borrow movies from the library instead).

If you are legally able to (and that is what I SUSPECT may be holding you back from working...), you can try to get a PT job on the weekends on PM when your DH is home and can help out with the kids.  You can babysit, work in retail, clean houses or whatever it takes to earn some $$ to make ends meet.  Babysitting pays well and if you are reliable and trust-worthy and fun, you can earn up to $15/hr watching one child for someone's date night.  Advertise your services on Sittercity etc.  You can also dogsit or offer dog-walking services on the weekends etc.  Do you have a college degree or any specialized skills?  You might be able to offer your services as a tutor (language, math, sciences etc.).  If you are crafty, can you make something that people might like and sell your products on Etsy?

Good luck to you and your DH![/quote]

You cam here for this?? You - a SAHM, no less - have never before thought of buying at Costco or using coupons and are now deeply grateful for these precious insights. Please.[/quote]
