Re: My Plans for Saving Money with a kid at WDW

To save money we are not eating out all the time. I hate cooking. So I decided that on Sundays I will make a bunch of food, freeze some and use the rest during the week. This will save us sooooo much money. DH said he will help with the cooking, I hope he means it. I can't even imagine the amount of money we spend on food. Our average check is probably about $50.00 with tip. Ugh. I'm not even going to add that up. It is a ridiculous amount of money every month.

Oh yeah, I forgot about those! Thanks! It seems like they're always on sale at the Disney store.

We've cut our eating out to once a month. You will definitely saves TONS of money. For some really good recipes try FamilyFun and Food Network (Rachael Ray has some great 30 minute meals).

Thanks so much. I will definitely check these out. Rachael does have some
great recipes. Especially since I don't like to cook.
