We meal plan and find that we have so much more variety and eat healthier as a result. Taking notice of things like parking fees and the price of petrol make a huge difference. Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful tips. ]]> By: Caroline http://allmumsaid.com.au/5-ways-to-improve-financial-security-for-your-family/#comment-134740 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 00:31:12 +0000 http://allmumsaid.com.au/?p=5941#comment-134740 I am certainly a more savvy shopper. I have learned to look around for a good bargain and tend to shop more at fruit and vegetable markets rather than supermarkets for fresh produce. I have also learned which butchers sell wholesale and retail and where to get bread items at a better price. Add to this that I am no longer paying for parking, using less fuel to find the bargains and can get my shopping completed in under three hours (instead of on different days) and I am saving over $4,000 per annum.

Also, my household is eating healthier and meal planning is more simplistic and has greater variety. Money is certainly tight in my household, however, I have learned that going back to basics is essential for my maintaining a healthier bank balance.
