Champagne Life on a Beer Budget?

As you know, we are a Military family.  My husband, myself and our four small children (all under age 5) live on my husband's salary and on my own occasional income as a professional photographer (AliciaRiosPhotography), so I am always looking for ways to stretch our money a little further without sacrificing our quality of life. 

Anyhow, I have found a lot of easy (and often FREE) ways to save - and sometimes even EARN - money.  Many of these tips and tricks have been taught to me by Kate at San Diego Deals and Steals, and many of them I have figured out on my own through five years of searching, trying new methods and failing horribly.  In these tough economic times, I know that more and more of my family and friends are struggling to make ends meet. My hope is that I can share my knowledge and my resources with you to help you stretch your budget, too!

Happy New Year!
