Between getting ready for last month’s Duck Duck Goose consignment sale, and our pending move, I’ve been more motivated than usual to purge the things we don’t use and get our household organized so we can take care of the things that really matter.

A New Breed of Menu Planning
Serious couponing and menu planning have always sort of been at odds with one another. Couponers tend to stock up on what is on sale and then make their meals from their “stash”. Menu planners plan out their sustenance in advance and then buy only what they need at the grocery store. Both methods claim to save money, but they really never worked hand in hand.
