We are a family of four living on one income with no credit cards so if we don't have the money we don't buy it (except for our house) Our son is living at home instead of the dorms to save money. He doesn't want to come out of school with a lot of debt.susan1215https://www.blogger.com/profile/15314632987489867224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5824319701176485167.post-75353531341442349652013-04-24T10:09:49.048-05:002013-04-24T10:09:49.048-05:00I noticed groceries was one of the highest and eve...I noticed groceries was one of the highest and even though I use coupons I think the price of food is ridiculous so this year I'm putting in a large garden of raised beds. Even though I don't come close to spending the averages that they have above because I don't have that kind of money to spend I found it to be interesting and it makes me more aware of my own spending. I'm really frugal and shop lots of thrift shops and coupons on everything.Rhonda Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04826909261443746707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5824319701176485167.post-62588313959222382642013-04-24T07:14:57.651-05:002013-04-24T07:14:57.651-05:00Info graphics are awesome!
