Menu plan

-Plan out what your family is going to eat. You can do this weekly or monthly. Plan some meals based off of sale ads. This way you are less likely to end up eating out because you have everyone asking "what's for dinner".

Money orders

-See if your bank or credit union will give you moeny orders without a fee. This is a cheaper route than checks if you have to purchase those.
