We were also told that it is not getting used enough and that you can go anytime. This is something that is readily available to us and that we should use more.

MONEY SAVING GROCERY SHOPPING
Tip #1
Make a list before you go. Try to stick to the list , and don't impulse buy. (If you can leave the kids home, that will help)
Tip #2
Plan meals around what is on sale and what is in your food storage that needs rotation.
Tip #3
Use manufacture coupons as much as you can. When combined with store coupons or sales, they can help greatly with savings. You do not have to take a newspaper to get coupons. You can go to sites like coupons.com, couponsuzy.com, and direct manufacture web sites such as General mills, betty Crocker, malt-o-meal. Rebates may be available on many non-food items on sites as well. (put your printer on gray scale to save on colored ink)
Tip #4
Buy a Freezer if you don't yet have one. These can be obtained secoundhand on websites, newspapers or purchased at scratch and dent warehouses for a reasonable amounts. this will allow you tho really stock up when things like grilling meat are on sale during the summer and turkeys are on sale at Thanksgiving time etc.
Tip #5
Shop the case lot sales for your food storage and everyday meals.
Tip #6
Plant a garden. Share and swap produce with others. Plan ahead for the next year.
DATE NIGHT!!!
YEs we all desperatly need one. in fact we have been greatly encouraged to do so by our church leaders once a week. But what about the babysitter when you are short on dough? Swap with another couple where you watch each other's childeren. Or maybe create your own babysitting co-op where you get points for how many hours you watch childrenan then redeem them with your group. Don't forget that is costs very little to go to the temple and the spiritual, mental peace and the blessings derived are priceless.
