However, my budget is already at $670 a month for a family of 4 (trust me, William might be young, but he is starting to eat like a teenager ;-) ). Unfortunately, I don't have the patience to look at any kind of coupons... I'm to busy writing this blog ! lol! We are trying to cut down on "dinning out" expenses as well. We are down to $250 per month. Hopefully we could drop it down to $225. Jennifer,

One of the things we did when I wanted to stay home with my kids was to cut our grocery budget drastically. This saved us almost $450 a month! (Yes, we were way overspending on groceries!) We are able to keep our grocery budget very low by cooking from scratch, keeping a price book, combining sales and coupons, and buying in bulk. Good luck! It is sooo worth it to be home with the kids! :) What is your monthly grocery budget? One of the things we did when I wanted to stay home with my kids was to cut our grocery budget drastically.

If you don't want to get into it big you can always sell covered calls far out-of-the-money to take premiums and have a lessened chance of being forced to sell your stocks.
