@DanaMH one way to economize is to cook your own food and freeze portions for easy meals in the future.
@soulsings
That is so true. I like to buy in bulk also and freeze things which is usually cheaper. I love the pre-cooked meals that I try to make ahead or make double batches and have left overs. Although I have a teen and when I want something it is not always there.
I carpool to work to economize.
@MissPen
That is awesome. I used to ride the train to save on gas money and parking cost.
@DanaMH i wish we had trains where i live! I had the opportunity a few years ago to take advantage of commuting on a train and I really liked it. So much faster than driving, and less stress than being stuck in traffic!
Guess talking to me is horrible. Tc everyone.
