Mom's Summer Survival Guide- How to have summer fun on a budget

Share

Hi Friends!

It's Mom's Summer Survival Guide: Part 4. Today we're talking to author and speaker Mary Hunt about some great, low-cost ideas for things to do with the kids this summer.

Mary has an amazing story of God's grace in her own life as she overcame a huge spending and debt problem. Her money crisis threatened to cost her family everything but with God's help and a real commitment to change, Mary learned the secret to debt-proof living. She's turned her life lesson into a ministry to help all of us who struggle getting the budget under control.

So, for our busy moms who are under the budget crunch and trying to figure out how to keep the kids happy this summer without spending money you don't have, Mary has some great ideas!

How to Save on Groceries

This morning we talked to Mary Hunt about how to save money at the grocery store. Mary is the editor of Debt Free Living and the author of a bunch of books about money management. For Mary, learning how to live within your means is not simply an academic exercise. At one point in her life she had over $100,000 in consumer debt, but worked her way out of it. Anyhow, Mary gave us some great tips on ways to save money on groceries.
