Childhood Cancer Family — Hospital Camping

childhood cancer, cancer recovery, hospital stay

As a former Childhood Cancer family—Thank God remission continues to hold—but... we are oh sooooo very BROKE!

Saving on food Meals for parents and family members visiting the hospital get really expensive with 3 meals and snacks each day.

One way we found to get around some of that expense is to bring in 2 totes with lids (cold and dry storage) and a bag of ice and use them to store food in your child's room.

Include your beverage of choice (off brand pop, gatorade, juice, etc) cold cereal,

Home Made Hand Wipes

I have found a good way to save on all those anti-bacterial wipes. I use an empty container and cut up paper towels, usually in four pieces, then roll them up, stuff them in, and pour rubbing alcohol over them so they are wet. Alcohol is a great anti-bacterial and you can find it for $ 0.50 - 1.00 a bottle. Great when you need to wash your hands. I use them a lot in the car.

Peroxide - Versatile for Health and Laundry

I want to share what I learned from a doctor's wife, Becky Ransey of Indiana, about the benefits of using peroxide instead of the bleach I was using for cleaning.

Walking our way to savings

We used to shop at stores that offered a gas discount, but then found their prices were higher and typically were out of our way :( We decided to move closer to all the places we typically shop and walk instead. We live on 3 major bus lines, our children ride the school bus, and I take my college classes for the most part at home on-line.
