Food
Food is an obvious necessity but if funds are tight, sandwiches and frozen meals are a budget-saving go to. Add a few snacks, juices and a few “make the kids happy” items and no one will go hungry. When shopping at the Dollar Tree you can have quite a few meals for a fraction of the cost elsewhere. With every item you purchase, you are saving approximately $2.00-$3.00 each. A huge chunk of your $200 goal could add up by purchasing duplicate entree items to get you through this dry season.

Between the food, pets and kids, things have probably gotten a bit too grimy to wait for the next paycheck. Clothes need washing, floors need mopping and mirrors need the toothpaste spatters cleared.
