    Grocery Shopping For the Frugal Family
    Annette and Steve Economides don’t just clip coupons to save on groceries; instead, their monthly trip to the store is as meticulously planned as a mission of the armed forces.

    “I go in as if I’m going in for a military strike,” Annette says of her monthly grocery run, in a phone interview from her suburban Arizona home. “[The] planning and executing takes less time than the four times a week that most families spend at the grocery in the one time.”

    Spending Smart - Clothes That Fit the Budget

    Clothing is a necessity, but spending a lot of money on it isn't.
