10 + Ways We Saved in May

To be honest, we didn’t do a lot to save in May, due to the injury in my back.  We chose to spend a little more to make things less stressful for all of us.  We didn’t go crazy with our spending, we just didn’t strive to save as much as we normally do.

This week we are changing it up a bit at Treasured Tidbits and will be adding breakfast, lunch and snack menus to our weekly Monday Menu.  We have added a little one to our house three days a week and can no longer just “toss” something together at the last minute.  And since I am a SUPER COOL babysitter we are planning to have “themed” snacks.
