As we save the family budget!

Good afternoon all! Here, also I decided to share at last the small secrets on economy of the family budget. We together officially ten years, at us are two wonderful children. And, of course, here not to do without planning of a family purse in any way! What do I do?

1. Expenses on municipal needs. Now the maintenance of housing what becomes farther, is more and more expensive to those. Therefore when ceased to pay me a grant for the second child up to one and a half years, I went and issued a housing subsidy. Of course, it was necessary to run about – to posobirat various references and documents, but it was worth it! Now I pay the minimum for the apartment – about a third of all put sum, and it is very sensitive, especially during the heating period. Time in half a year I report, just making copies of all payment orders for the expired period.

Also we installed practically all possible counters (except gas) – on cold and hot water, on light. Noticeable economy. As in our house quite often there are interruptions in hot water, and in the summer it disconnects absolutely and for a long time (familiar history, isn't that so?!!), we decided and installed the water heater. Now we have hot water at any time and the payment for it left.

We try to save the electric power, we use energy saving and diode bulbs, they consume much less than the power, than usual. We try to turn off the light when we leave the room, especially it concerns children!


2. Products. Here the prices too the farther, the more bite! Of course, food and still drugs, the main two expenditure, besides a rent. What do we do? First, I write the list for a week that I need to buy, and in shop then I buy ONLY on it! Once a week we make purchases of products in large network super - and hypermarkets where quite often there are various actions and many discounts. For a week there are only everyday expenses – purchase of bread, fermented milk products, etc.

From various sausages, sosisek, smoked products we refused in favor of forcemeats and chicken meat. And at once felt a difference! I do not buy beef meat now absolutely, but in the freezer there is always a whole chicken cut with pieces. It can always be taken out and extinguished without prejudice to health. I repent, to mold pelmeshka so far I am lazy, work umatyvat! I buy in shop in a stock "house", they are slightly more expensive, but it are pleasant to the husband.

For the weekend I try to bake something, especially something rich. Cakes, rolls, fritters, pancakes – my family is very enough and happily, besides economy on cookies!


In questions of grocery economy we are especially helped out now by giving. First, vegetables and the fruit, you know who grew up and as. Secondly, children and the husband are acquainted with useful work, and in the summer this also exit vacation spot so all are happy (well, maybe, except mother standing constantly up …! But on that it and mother!!!). I prepare everything that is only possible for the winter: I freeze and "hammer" the freezer with strawberry, cut apples, cherry ground with sugar raspberry. We eat them then and alive, I cook compotes, I do fruit drinks, I use for pastries. Raspberry is well-known cure for colds. I collect and freeze the mint and a melissa, in the winter very much save as soothing easy collecting! I freeze also a dogrose and a hawthorn, for the same purposes plus as all-strengthening. From cucumbers, for example, I press juice and I do cucumber cubes which then I use as face toner. I will share a secret: when carrots keep up, we fray it on the combine, we pack on separate packages and we freeze. As necessary then all this can be got and used quietly, very conveniently!


I dream to buy the bread machine, but the lack of time and, honestly, laziness stops. Our grandfather is a hunter and the fisherman so we are periodically come the way by a small fish and a game (a game – is more rare).

3. Drugs. Here save a little various grass collecting – a camomile, a valerian, a motherwort, a thyme, a sage. I try to collect and dry a camomile, a calendula in the summer. It is very good to rinse with infusion of a camomile the head after washing, hair become stronger and shine. And if drugs are necessary, I try to wholesale them in cheap city drugstores where the price differs from local at times many times! Plus, I use discount cards, accumulating points from the next purchases.


4. Holidays, entertainments. Here I am a little saved by school of the eldest son where there are a lot of sponsors, quite often there are actions and good gifts, plus they often leave on various actions. For example, today at their class in the program an organ concert. Go also to the museums, to exhibitions, to theaters. One of mothers works in the local House of creativity, and consider it a free circle, plus fast information on cultural actions. Of course, we also are to family in theaters, circus. We with it looked new interpretation of "The wizard of the Emerald city" in processing of the Volgograd theater-goers at the next Birthday of the son.

5. Well and where we without cosmetics??? I am a consultant in two cosmetic firms that gives me the chance to buy cosmetics quickly and with a considerable discount, to be aware of various novelties in catalogs. It is considerable economy on gifts to the family, plus it is not necessary to puzzle! And, of course, now I had one more assistant in this question – our remarkable website wowcharm! Thanks a lot of Rufinochke and to sponsors that give us a remarkable opportunity to try various cosmetic novelties and give such remarkable prizes! Charm's inhabitants, probably, who are most knowing and informed in the cosmetic world!!!


Many thanks to all for attention!!!
