Patricia is a frugal mom of 2 and 1 on the way from Virginia.
What is your financial life?
I'm a stay at home mom to two boys aged 4 and 2, with a baby due in June. My husband brings home a reasonable income but we have a lot of credit card debt and also have to run two cars because we live in the middle of nowhere. This makes life pretty expensive and things are tight at the moment. We have some considerable expenses coming up related to the new baby - like a bed for the 2 year old, car maintenance issues, and a double stroller. At the moment, these look impossible.
I also need to continue to menu plan and keep a tight rein on groceries/other household expenditure.
What is your budget buster?
My weakness is picking up little treats when on school run etc. This needs to stop. Last month I did it almost every day.
What is your favorite money saving tip?
Menu planning has been very helpful to me! I actually enjoy making menus. It keeps me from running to the grocery stores!
If you had an extra $1000 what would you do with it?
Right now it would go towards the new baby expenses.
What is your best resource for frugal living?
I am still learning about being frugal after many years of spend spend spend!
