This is the 25th edition of the 5 Ways We’ve Saved Money This Week series! Writing this series each week really stretches me in the best frugal ways.
It’s a challenge to come up with 5 different ways each week. But I have to tell you that it really helps me to consider my purchases more carefully!
Are you ready to save some money?
Friday is the day that I reflect on the frugal choices we’ve made in the past week. I like to share these ways on the blog so that you can find new money saving methods that fit into your own family life.
Since I do this every Friday (for 24 weeks now!), I’ve grown quite the collection of tips. If you’d like to read the archives, you can find the entire series right here.
Meal planning is kind of a boring chore. So why not get more of it done in one sitting?
We both know that getting started is probably the hardest part of planning your menu.
So if you can do it fewer times per month, that’s a win! That’s why I do my planning for two weeks at a time.
(Let’s face it…the thought of monthly meal planning is a chore. But weekly meal planning feels like you just got done and now you have to start again?! Two weeks is perfect.)

Happy Friday! Have you had a frugal week?
Last week was not a great one for us. In fact, instead of doing my usual 5 Ways We’ve Saved Money This Week post, I wrote one titled Why We Didn’t Save Money This Week.
