Today's issue of Parade Magazine (in the Sunday ad inserts of the newspaper) had several articles about families and how they save money. Take a read for yourself. I have a hard time believing that a family of 6 can make dinner for $3.69 total (not each), but that's what one family claims. The family must not include teenage boys, that's all I have to say! Anyway, it was an interesting article and the entire issue has some good ideas. If you don't get the Sunday paper, you can follow the link above.
