Thanks for sharing, mom! I remember that fiscal responsibility was a big part of our upbringing. I remember the made-from-scratch dinners (delicious). But most of all I remember that we still had fun — and even went on trips — even though it wasn’t always the fanciest time, it was good family fun.

As a stay at home mother of five children, we have always had to prioritize spending when having fun. We usually sacraficed eating out. We would buy groceries at a local store and make sandwiches, etc while driving down the road (my husband drove, I made sandwiches). We have always taken a well stocked cooler and a couple of grocery sacks filled with snacks for the kids to avoid expensive snacks at the gas stations.
