Budgeting on a single income can be stressful at first, until you learn to become a savvy smart, saving single momma like myself! ;) *I'm sharing all of my tips & tricks!
Single Mom’s do you want to know how you can literally save $100’s of dollars a month on your everyday everyday essentials, grocery store needs, back to school shopping lists, and much much more?!
Let me fill you in on a few of my money saving secrets as as single mom...
First off, let me start by saying if you are a name brand (wh*ore) or swear you would never shop at certain places, then this article may not be for you. Just want to be straight up honest with everyone.
I have no shame on where I shop, nor do I care what other people might think of me, because of where I shop.
Because I like money just as much as everyone else, and I really like to spend my money wisely, so I can save my money for something really important or special for me and my little one.
MY MONEY SAVING SECRET:
Shop at the DOLLAR STORE, GROCERY OUTLET BARGIN MARKET, and FAMILY DOLLAR!!! I’m not kidding you, I save so much money every month by shopping at these stores…. It’s not even funny!
Momma’s you can say, well I shop at Walmart and that’s basically the same…. NOPE it’s not.

I don’t shop at FAMILY DOLLAR as much, unless they have a sale, special, or coupons in the weekly news paper for cleaning supplies or personal care products. I have gotten some good deals on name brand hair spray, body wash, and razors that have saved me half off of what I would typically spend on these items at Walmart or Target.
