It is hitting us hard as well, my husband planted me a garden last weekend, and granted we won't reap the benefits of that for a couple months..it will help some.
Something my husband and I have discussed in the past is locating a place to buy a side of beef, maybe going in with a couple other families, maybe save some money that way long term not having to buy as much so often.. |
Do you have a deep freezer? My wife and I have talked about investing in one when we get our stimulus check. You can put things like meats and vegetables up and freeze them so they will be on hand later when you need them.
