Well,there must definitely be a way out to save money In our daily life. There is a way you can actually cook a home made good meal without spending so much on it. Cooking basically needs to be quality but then don't break your savings just to have a good meal. How well you can do it is what matters,not how much you spend on it.

The economy is bad now and you need to sit and go through your budget again,it's possible how much you spend on groceries is times two now,gas, kerosene and everything is double the price, and I have seen some people who go back to using another local method to cook and forget about buying gas for now. This is another good way for management purpose.

In order to save one from spending much or unnecessarily on daily basis, there's need to make a budget according to your income.

I agree wholeheartedly, in fact you just reminded me I have not had breakfast yet. I am setting this entertainment aside and heading for the kitchen where I can dump a scoop of Oats into a pan of boiling water for 10 minutes and enjoy a relaxing meal that was very low cost and healthy for me. See you again shortly.

Nice thread! We all know that it's a good idea to save money, but sometimes we forget that there are practical ways to save money without having to sacrifice our more fun or preferred activities.

Here are five skills every home should have:

1. Housekeeping: It's no secret that keeping your house clean can save you time and money in the long run. A clean home will also help you feel better about yourself, which can lead to better health and less stress.

2. Cooking: Having some basic cooking skills is key for anyone who wants to eat healthy and inexpensively, but it doesn't have to be difficult or complicated. A few easy recipes can help you cook healthy meals even when you don't have much time or energy for them (or want something quick and easy).

3. Handyman Skills: If you're interested in DIY projects around the house, now is the time to start learning how to do them properly! You'll be able to save money on labor costs and fix things yourself rather than paying someone else for it later on.

4. Gardening: Gardening can be both beautiful and relaxing, but if you don't know what kind of plants grow best for your climate and don't want to buy seeds or plant then you will end up spending a lot of money if you lack sole skills.
