Want to spend less on food? Today my family is spending onaverage, one-third less on our grocery bill than we did lastyear. We are also able to go to the grocery store every otherweek and still have plenty of food in the house. How did we dothis? This article is the first installment of a three partseries on how we made these significant savings in our foodspending.
In order to save money on groceries we first took a long lookat our shopping habits. We occasionally took advantage of sales,yet had no organization to our menus, food storage, or shopping.We went to the store "between trips" and often ate poorly ifboth of us were sick at the same time. We wanted a change.Our first purchase was a food sealer. I had been looking atsealers before, thinking we threw a lot of food away. We oftenhad left overs three days in a row.
I thought there had to be abetter way without cooking more meals or ordering delivery. Thepurchase of a food sealer has been very helpful in saving money.We use leftovers when we want and not just the first few daysafter the meal is cooked. The food can be saved in meal sizepackages and micro waved or boiled. Saving money on groceries will in all likelihood mean you needmore pantry space. Modern kitchens rarely have enough.
Westarted with a small closet in our kitchen but it was notenough. A wooden storage cabinet left over from a previous jobended up being perfect. Look around your house and find a closetor some other space that is dry and dark.Our third step in saving was to purchase an additional freezer.Luckily my husband received a one-time bonus at work just afterwe decided to make a change. We decided to buy a new freezerwith this money. We owned a twenty year old freezer and wasn'tsure how much longer it would last.
After some time researchingwe bought an upright version with no bells or whistles; just asimple freezer. Some bulk buying of frozen stuff is needed tosave as much as possible. How much freezer space do you have?Where can you put a freezer? Shop around and see what specialsare available. Most families only need one freezer. Maybe youcan share one.Our goal was to save money, stockpile a certain amount ofgroceries in case of bad weather or illness, and still eat well.The vacuum sealer, freezer, and additional storage space arethree wise choices that help us save money.
While these stepsworked best for us, adapt our suggestions to your situation. Noteveryone can or should start with these ideas first. Author info: L. C. Peterson is a writer and web marketingconsultant.

House Cleaning / Janitorial Business is Booming.
(ContentDesk) January 5, 2004--Experts say this will be a boom year for both new and experienced house cleaning / office cleaning / and janitorial companies. Due to a lowering of the unemployment rate, homeowners and business owners have more money in their pockets and less time on their hands to take care of their own cleaning needs. The demand is only going to increase as we go through the year, many industry insiders say.As the year progresses, more people are back at work and they are working longer hours. They just do not have the time to tend to their own cleaning needs. Typically, the needs of the homeowner are very straightforward.
They want their floors vacuumed, their furniture dusted, and most of all they want general tidying up done. However, starting the business and building a solid customer base isn't always as straightforward. "It's not as easy as buying a vacuum cleaner and expecting customers to flock to you."
