Broke by Choice, creating a will is definitely important. I recommend you get that completed as soon as possible.

Liz, you may want to check out the Grocery Game. Look at the post I wrote about it because it tells you how to maximize your coupon savings by using coupons with items that are on sale at rock bottom prices. The savings is much bigger than using a coupon for an item that isn’t on sale. We’ve saved as much as 50-60 percent of my grocery bill using the Grocery Game.

Grocery shopping is my big “to do” for this year. It’s just a money-sucker! Granted, we eat in mostly (veyr, very little takeout, though we’ll probably go out 2 to 3 times in a month, usually on weekends). I’m starting with returning to clipping coupons. I figure if I can recoup at least the cost of my Sunday newspapers (yes, we get more than one), I’ll be making a good start. I already use the store loyalty card, and that saves me a bundle.

The first week I did this, I saved $5.75 on coupons, so it went well!

We realized that we stock up some unnecessary stuff as groceries. In November we went a month without grocery bill except milk, bread, and juice and we still had stuff left in the freezer, and that $200 into the final car payment.
wow we re kicking it.

Ken, that is a great one. It’s so important to be on the same page as your spouse with your financial goals.

Jason, our family has had a lot of great success with the Grocery Game. I look forward to reading the series you’re working on. Good point in that an attorney can help set up a will that dictates timing and how money/possessions will be distributed.

I’m in the middle of a blog series that includes a couple posts on The Grocery Game. That’s great advice to help trim the budget! Also, if you have a big life insurance or children particularly, you should get a will drawn up. An attorney should be able to set you up with one that dictates not just to whom your money is going to, but also when & how your estate is distributed.
