Mom $$$ tips
Here is a summary of the great tips from our moms for stretching your dollars in ‘09
*Limit trips to Wal-mart to once or twice a month and HAVE A LIST!
*Deep freezers are great for storing bulk meat and extra meals you have prepared.
* Stock up on essentials at places like Save-a-Lot, Dollar Tree, Discount Foods, etc.
*The slow cooker is great for saving money — and dinner’s ready when you walk in the door.
*Be creative with the items you purchase and try to stretch them over a couple of meals.
*Bi-Lo is great for their weekly BOGO specials. Clip coupons online and in the newspaper — Bi-Lo offers double coupons.
*Having a weekly menu plan and a list are essential.
*Try to have a “poor man’s meal” once a week with beans, rice and cornbread. It is easy to prepare, cheap and filling.
*Eat fruit for dessert.
*Make your dryer sheets last longer by cutting them in half. A half sheet works just as well as a whole one.

Let’s Eat!
A home cooked meal is great, but not having to cook or clean up is a nice treat too! So, to go along with our January resolution for getting the most for our money…
What are some great dining ”deals” in the ‘boro?
For example:
Every Wednesday, kids eat for .99 at Applebees. Are there other deals around town? Let us know.
