I have really appreciated the threads on money saving ideas. I joined the grocergame.com and for $1 I'll try it for a month. I have to weigh the savings with the cost of the service but it's been nice having a list of all the best buys, combining with coupons, all the work done for you. It's a balance between time and money all the time. Both are commodities that I am short on.
I'm also doing extra cooking on the weekends so that when we come home after work and difficult child's TKD at 7:30 I can just throw dinner in the wave. Last week I put a roast in the crockpot and made bbq beef, meatballs to make an easy spaghetti dinner and froze taco meat too.
I'm also weighing the value of paying for a tutor to come to difficult child's daycare a few times a week to have homework done. Otherwise it just won't work. I want to keep up the TKD because it's the only physical activity he does and I think it's good for him. So we can't be coming home at 7:30 and have dinner, unwind and have time for homework battles too. These battles leave both of us bloody messes daily during the school year. Not good.
I thank you all for the steady stream of great ideas. This site has had a wonderful influence in my life on many levels
