Online Bill Pay

Thursday, August 9th, 2007

Save yourself time and money. Many banks offer a free online bill paying system. Be sure to find out if there are any fees involved before you get started. If not, or if the fees will be less than the stamps and supplies you’ll need to send your bill payments yourself, then go for it.

If you prefer to handle your own bill payment, check to see if your bills can be paid through the company’s website.

Keeping a stocked pantry

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

Keeping your pantry well stocked is so important. To be able to pull a meal from pantry ingredients when the food budget is dwindling is nice.
Always keep:
flour
bread crumbs
spices
peanut butter
pasta
rice
beans
yeast
sugar
cream soups
salsa
tomato paste and sauce
canned tomatoes
potatoes
canned fish
canned chicken

With little or no money you can pull together quick meals from these items.
Please comment with any items you must always have on hand!
