Collection of Tips for Busy Moms

Helpful Hint #1 - Plan ahead. Take drinks and snacks to ball practice - stopping at a convenience store on the way is very expensive.

Helpful Hint #2 - Buy big bags of chips and divide into individual portions for bag lunches or as needed. Buying snack items in bulk will save you money.

Helpful Hint #3 - A mixture of 2 parts vinegar/ 1 part water will clean your stainless steel appliances just as well as that pricey storebought cleaner.

Helpful Hint #4 - Eat out for lunch at a great restaurant instead of dinner. The food will be less expensive but just as great. Also, check out the online discounts for restaurant gift cards beforehand. You can easily get a $25 gift card for only $10.
