Tips From a Frugal Housewife

Welcome to Tips from a Frugal Housewife.

Today's tip is a common sense one which I am sure you are all aware of.

Brown bag your lunch, and you could save up to $1200 per year, and that is if you only spend $5.00 per day (and really who can eat out on $5.00.)

Think of all the money you could save! You could take a trip, or buy something neat!

When making dinner, work on the next days lunch and package up any leftovers for lunches later in the week.StumbleUpon

WOw, had no idea it would add up to $1200 a year... yes ma'am, I'll be brown-bagging it from now on!

Brown bags are my best friend. BTW, I passed on 2 awards to you. Please go pick them up. XXXOOO

Great advice! My hubby spends a fortune on lunches. Brown bagging would be a great alternative!

Great tip - it's amazing how much money you can save.

By the way, the sausages were from Trader Joe's - they are GREAT!

We already do this, Sweetie, but I didn't realize how much money it saved us. That's amazing.

But we do have rules about lunches - I'll put the leftovers aside for Mick, but if he needs a sandwich, he makes his own. :-)
