When I was a little girl my mom documented all of my school memories in a book called “My School Days”. There was a place for each year’s current picture, my likes and dislikes, activities and sports, and a pouch for school paraphernalia. But the most interesting to me now is the fill-in-the-blank sentence: When I grow up I want to be a(n) _____________.
For many years my mom wrote in that blank two words – mommy and homemaker.
Now at 36 years of age, as my dream of becoming a homemaker has become a reality, I am wondering how I missed the Bachelor’s degree in homemaking because it is so much harder than I thought.
One of my biggest struggles is meal budgeting, meal planning, and preparing healthy meals.
Thank goodness for smart women like Anne Simpson (writer at Quick and Easy Cheap and Healthy) who wrote the phenomenal eBook Your Grocery Budget Toolbox!
And that’s exactly what this book is – a toolbox.
It is jammed pack of information for not just planning and buying groceries on a budget, but for doing so healthfully.
I have found myself saying several of the same comments Anne addresses in the book:
- I can’t use coupons because they’re only for packaged foods.
- I can’t prepare healthy meals because the food is too expensive.
- I can’t find the time to prepare healthy foods.
Not only does Your Grocery Budget Toolbox give you much needed information to overcome these obstacles, it does so without an “all or nothing” approach. Anne stresses the fact that this meal planning, meal budgeting, and healthy eating takes time to learn and adjust. You don’t have to incorporate all of the ideas in this book in order to “do it right”. Even using some of the ideas will be healthier and better for your family’s pocketbook.
Here are some other features that I love about Your Grocery Budget Toolbox:
