bread and water

I love this image. My dear husband uses this term of endearment when we need to watch our wallets and tighten the belt. He simply communicates “bread and water” and I understand completely. How do you sharpen the saw, tighten the belt, save a penny? I am meal planning and carrying only a certain amount of cash. When we focus our energy on reducing, it is amazing how simple things can look so extravagant. It is true, we all have so much to be thankful for, so when we take a closer look, we are forced to really examine our true needs and decipher the wants.
