Today we had to go visit my fiance's parents. They live about 38 miles from the house. The whole way there I was thinking about how much gas that is going to cost us as we have been trying to live frugally for a while now. We put 20$ of gas in the car and took off. As I was driving I couldn't help but think of all the ways we could be saving money to sponsor our next child. To go out to eat this past weekend I spent 35$ on 5 people eating. I couldn't believe it when I got the bill, we only got pizza and cheese fries. So I thought about it and have disided the next time we want to eat out we are going to make a pizza and make cheese fries at home and have a picnic. I have been noticing more and more the ways I can cut money costs to save for my next sponsor. I don't need to buy cokes for the family, that's a bunch of wasted calories anyways. Why not make some tea? a box of tea makes roughly 30 gallons and costs less than a 12 pack of store brand soda. Just by not buying cokes every week I am saving around 20$ a month. Theres almost half of a month of sponsoring. Ill be doing more thinking, planning, and adjusting to see just how much I can cut off our budget and will let everyone know what I have come up with sometime this week.
In the mean time why not go read about compassion international at www.compassion.com
In the next few days I'll be posting more information about the organization as well as some frequently asked questions.
