Things I have posted on other sites about our situation have prompted questions about how I make it all work without being in the poor house, lol. So, here are some of my tips and things, lol.
Currently, we support two households, basically, the home we live in, which has me, Master (when He is home), occasionally a third adult (my sister) and an 8 year old, plus Master's work home. I do it all on only Master's income. How do I do it?
Well, Sam's Club is my best friend, lol!! My first tip is, buy in bulk. Things that are perfectly fine, and cheaper, to buy in bulk: TP (everyone uses it and it never spoils, so feel free to buy that 100 roll pack that breaks down to 72 cents a roll, only slightly exaggerating), shave gel (multi packs, baby!), Body wash, soap, hair products, contact solution (I am starting to wear them more, and this stuff is good forever), antiperspirant (even the 8 year old uses it, we can go through a dozen or more sticks a year), toothpaste (a tube at home and a tube in Master's truck at the same time can add up), gateraide (Goddess bless the person who discovered the clear stuff, especially with white karate uniforms, lol, my son goes through 3 bottles a day!), batteries (AA and AAA are the most common, toys, cameras, remotes, etc...), razors and razor heads (MUCH cheaper in bulk plus you will almost always have an extra handle for unexpected over night guests to use if they need), laundry soap, dish soap, windex, paper towels.
You get the picture, lol. If you have the room, buy in bulk, if you save only 5 cents a roll on toilet paper, and you use a roll every day and a half, look how that adds up!
More to come in the next few weeks!
