It’s no secret that I am a fan of keeping things simple in order to save money.  Honestly, it’s a lot of the meaning behind this blog.  I have found that when you keep things simple and easy on yourself then you’re more likely to follow through and stay motivated.  I think that’s why I love easy meal planning ideas and ways to keep our grocery costs down.  Because I hate going to the grocery store and I hate wasting my money by throwing away spoiled food.
