Over the few years that I have spent as a mother, I ve tried hard to listen carefully to this new group of peers, in addition to reading books on the topic of good mothering. In that time, I ve been able to identify what I feel is truly important when blessed with the task of raising children and preparing them for the world. Much like, when in the workforce, we use our peers viewpoints of doing business to determine where we fall on the spectrum and decide thusly how we can proceed effectively, we do the same in parenting.

If you’re like me, you constantly look for ways to cut your grocery expenses. I’m going to give you some ideas which will cut your grocery expenses in half. B1G1F – This stands for buy one get one free and it’s the hottest thing going in the lure of advertising for grocery stores at the moment. You should take advantage of these special offers by doing the following homework before buying one of these ‘specials’. Make sure it’s really a good deal – some grocery store chains hike the price up to recover their money on the ‘free’ item. Keep a price comparison book with good sale prices for common items that you buy all the time – this way, you’ll know before you ever set foot in the store if the sale prices are good ones or not. Use your coupons on the B1G1F items. Even if the price has been increased for this ‘sale’, you still may be able to come out ahead by using your cents off coupons. Remember – if you have two coupons for 50 cents off each box of Cheerios and the store is having a B1G1F on Cheerios, you can use BOTH coupons. This reduces the price you pay even more.
