Just reading your post has made me want to sit down and get my check register in balance! I keep thinking "I need to get my act together and keep up on my bills and my check register" so hopefully this year (let's shoot for "this month") will be the year (month). Thanks for sharing and I look forward to reading more of your posts.<BR/><BR/>LisaLisa C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13479669891289926523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8364051899386841101.post-61857228456712432592009-01-08T11:35:00.000-05:002009-01-08T11:35:00.000-05:00Looks good!

Have food that you WANT to eat on hand. Nothing like trying to convince yourself to go home and eat three-times heated over dead squash over Taco Bell. You could have some taco seasoned meat at home to heat in the microwave, plus some chopped lettuce, cheese, onions, and some canned diced tomatoes (that's what I use, anyway) and make your own tacos. That is easier to convince yourself to go home and eat. And, all you have to heat in the 'wave is the meat. The rest is just pull outa the 'frige. Anyway, we do that on some Sundays. Oh, make sure you have some tortillas around, or else a few Nacho chips to make it a salad.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01648805632326563495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8364051899386841101.post-87517325572535562642009-01-07T11:56:00.000-05:002009-01-07T11:56:00.000-05:00I could take lessons from you.

The way we get past it is I either, pull out a leftover meal from the freezer in the morning to thaw while we are at church or I put something in the crockpot to have when we get home. I works out pretty well for the most part. Our only problem comes when we arent ready to go home and we are hungry *lol* cant win them all.Aliisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18015708881047823801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8364051899386841101.post-71180712279086701132009-01-07T11:03:00.000-05:002009-01-07T11:03:00.000-05:00We used to eat out in Sunday's after church but wi...We used to eat out in Sunday's after church but with six kids (three of them teenage boys) it just cost too much. I now make a meal on Saturday for Sunday lunch. I usually cook it in the crock-pot so it is ready when we get home. I cook beef and pork roast over night in the crock-pot and turn them down to the warm setting in the morning. I make rolls and other side's too. I also make chili or soup a lot in the winter. It has saved us a lot of money and we are eating healthier!<BR/><BR/>Tammy K.Tammy K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15853955119271010218noreply@blogger.com
