Hi there
I’m looking for any other frugal advice to help our family prepare for the upcoming birth of our daughter
As of right now, our plan is for me to take off at least 12 weeks and my husband will probably go back to work after two weeks of paid vacation
As of today, I’ve canceled all of our unnecessary reoccurring subscriptions. I went through all of our credit card statements to make sure that we weren’t paying anything that we weren’t using.
I’m only doing grocery order so that I don’t pick up non necessary items. I’m only buying clothing and household items secondhand. We currently meal prep every week we all pack lunches for school and work and maybe go out to eat maybe once a month.
We also only have one car payment, but then we also have the reoccurring monthly payments for things like utilities, gas, and my student loans.
I’m really trying to balance being frugal and preparing to be on one income and still being able to pay all of our bills while still also being able to keep some of what our currently style is for my older son who is six.
Any advice on anything else that I may have missed on being able to just save even a few extra dollars here and there per month? Thank you in advance.
