With the prices food so high, it sure is difficult to stretch your grocery budget nowadays. Food that is healthy has a much higher price tag. It makes keeping a healthy balance for your family that much more of a challenge.
Some people have a grow it yourself option. Having a yard and living in an area with a longer growing period can cut down costs. Growing what you can and canning/freezing for the off season is how I grew up. Not everyone has this option though. Cutting down on restaurant conveniences and preparing less expensive recipes which will feed everyone are options as well.
When times are tough, it takes the whole family to pitch in and create ways of bringing costs down. When there is a financial crunch in the budget for whatever the reason, turn to your family for ways to cut down on costs. Food costs, especially the “extras” are a good source of saving some money. A cash advance can also help when money is tight for a short period of time. Juggling your budget is work. Paying bills on time is a necessity in today’s financial world, but so is feeding your family. Stretch your budget to help you through a rough period. You can do it!
