I love to save money I also love to learn better ways of saving money when it comes to planning meals for my family.[1] I found a great article of ways to be more frugal when it comes to preparing meals.[2] Jess wrote an article back in August SAVE MONEY: Food and Cooking and I just now found it and loved each and every tip she gave.[3] I suggest those mommas who love to be frugal check it out.[4] One thing that I have learned that has saved us money is making my own pancake mix and muffin mix.[5] I usually have lots of flour, sugar, baking soda and baking powder around, so there is really no reason why I should buy the pre-made stuff.[6] I also love making homemade bread.[7] I have a breadmaker machine that has come in very handy with preparing the bread dough for me.[8] I would have to say making our meals ...
