Ways We are saving money Part 1 and smart Ideas

    I am addicted to blogs and web searches that give ways to save money. Not only that but, I am also addicted to making lists of these Ideas. So, I thought I would share how we are saving right now and Ideas we will be implementing in the next month or so and some tips on vitamins and such. I am not a doctor. These are just vitamins that I have found that work for me and general health in general.

1. Not a way to save money, but, a tip. Soy is not good for you. There is a recent study done saying that soy in the USA is not as healthy as it should be. And that it is actually promoting cancer, heart disease and infertility. My personal opinion is: That people in the USA cannot digest it as well as say a person of asian descent.
   The study also shows that people in the USA have a very high intolerance of soy. Thus contributing to the infertility. So, all those health conscience people out there.....cows milk is actually healthier for you than soy milk. If you are still ewwing out....my suggestion is to drink almond milk. I love it! I am lactose intolerant and loved soy milk......but, since finding all of this stuff out...I have cut soy from my diet. Completely.
   Moral: Always read food labels. Look for: Soy and MSG.

2. We make all of our own breads. Savings: $4.00-5.00 per week. For 2 loaves.

3. Buying no meat except fish for 2 meals: Savings $20.00+ per week.

4.Hand washing all our clothes for a month. We did save about $65.00-80.00 that month. It got very tiring very fast. If I find a clothes wringer then we will go back to that.

5.paying cash at doctors appointments. Savings: A percentage off that you owe.

6. Couponing. Coupon for groceries, entertainment, medicine, doctors appointments, and all kinds of things.

Ok. Now onto Vitamins:

I take:
Prenatal vitamin
Vitamin C extra
Sometimes I will take a garlic capsule
1000 mg of fish oil
I also take a potassium pill if I feel I panic attack or hard to breathe
If I am particularly achy in my bones, I take a calcium vitamin. But, I haven't needed that in a long time
I think that is all for me.

For the hubby:
Men's Everyday Vitamin
2000 mg fish oil

I also drink:
Chamomile tea: Helps the digestive system, helps me sleep, and I have both IBS and most likely Endometriosis. So, I have almost debilitating cramps, and my stomach is very ruined from abusing advil. I discovered that chamomile tea and a heating pad really help.

Mint tea -Helps the digestive system

Almond milk for health and calcium.

And lots of water. LOTS. I have only made it up to 4. But, I am determined to get up to 10 a day.


Are trying to incorporate exercise into our routines:
Actually going to look up a fertility yoga
Going to start walking again

Alright well this wraps it up for right now
Have a great night,
