I just wanted to share that as a busy mom I use e-mealz.com to help me plan and budget for groceries. Check it out! It give you a weekly meal plan and grocery list and there are multiple plans to choose from. I have easily saved the $15/qtr that I would have wasted in groceries due to poor planning.

Hi Cash Saving Mum,

I’m glad you find the budget sheet helpful. It should be a fast and easy process to print out, post and start recording.

Good luck!

Niceeee… I really like this post.
Many a times I feel like budgeting is just that little bit too hard. Quite often I feel overwhelmed by the long ardous process involved in budgeting. However financial planning is just one of those things you can’t do without, especially if one chooses to lead a comfortable life for themselves and there family.

Your refreshing approach to budgeting, although it might be quite a lengthy process seems like a very good way to ease into becoming financially savvy.

I’m going to give it a shot with the family.
I’ll be sure to let you know how it goes.

This is going to be so helpful in my home! We really lose a lot of money of useless spending on ridiculous things. We just bought our first home and really need to be smart about our spending. Thanks so much for sharing this!
