I use diluted vinegar on my floors and I infuse it with citrus peels. I dilute a little of my Norwex powder UPP detergent with water in a spray bottle and it works great as an all purpose cleaner. I have to take it a bit easy on bleach as we are on a septic field.

It's just me and my husband, but Costco works for us for some things. Such as tp and paper towels, frozen fruit for smoothies, kitty litter, meat, butter (keep in freezer), gallon jugs of vinegar, large bag of baking soda, and Dave's Killer Bread.
Trader Joe's can also be cheaper for some things, especially natural or organic foods. I started to use Chewy for my cat food. They seem to be cheaper than Target or Walmart, or Amazon.

There are more convenience foods I could drastically cut if I need to, like plant-based milks, and I could go cheaper on fruits, which is one area I indulge. Modifying recipes is key. My meal plans are loose and I change gears depending on what is fresher and a better price at the store. Having a stand-alone freezer really helps as I can stock up frozen stuff when on sale, and batch cook if I end up with a lot of something fresh that needs to be used up. Electricity for keeping the freezer is one of those unseen expenses, but with a family with several adults it’s practically necessary, anyway. |

I love cookbooks and I'd rather try them out before buying instead of purchasing first and finding out I don't like the book!
