Are you in need of some tips for cutting down your grocery bill? Auckland blogger Stacey Sampson might be able to help.
After a financial emergency drained her and her husband of all their savings, they were left with just $60 in their bank account to feed their three kids.
Now every month she does a "cheap week" that helps cut costs and minimise food wastage. To read about Stacey and her food tips, click here.
"This month we've done it twice to save some extra for Christmas," she says.

Every Christmas, we somehow manage to spend more on gifts than we planned and buy more food than we could ever eat. Inevitably, this creates a lot of waste. Which is why this year, we’re focusing on turning Christmas waste into Christmas joy.

Inevitably, this creates a lot of waste. Which is why this year, we’re focusing on turning Christmas waste into Christmas joy. After all, there’s more than enough Christmas to go around.

Choice - ' an act of choosing between two or more possibilities'.
Circumstance - 'a fact or event that makes a situation the way it is'.
Choices are not a given that one is born with. Choice's may be determined by your Circumstances.
Should you be born in an area remote to the world's resources, you are dependent upon the Choices of those made around you. These Choices may include access to medicine, housing, internet, education, transport, and influences. It is the Freedom to access these benefits that brings about Choice. A companies limitations on Freedom may limit you on the access you have to these Choices.
Should you be born in an area that has ready access to the riches of the world's resources, then your Choices are not limited by Circumstance. You have the Freedom to access medicine, housing, internet, education, transport and influences.
Use your Freedom of Choice. Next time you open your wardrobe, look at how you have chosen your clothes, shoes, and ties. Those with limited access to Freedom, Choice and Circumstance are waiting on you to show your support.
Freedom Comes About Through A Choice of a Given Circumstance/s.
Use Your Choices to Enable Freedom to Change Circumstances.
Go and examine your wardrobe - you have the freedom to make change.
