Here’s how one work at home mom is coping with the rising gas prices… increased coupon use among other things. How about you?
From KCCI Des Moines
Nora: I am a work-at-home mom, my husband is a trucker (he drives for one of the major trucking companies so he does not have to pay for the fuel)…….yes, things are getting really tight, gas and food are getting very expensive, but I feel that people just have to change their lifestyles…I do a lot of refunding/couponing and do various programs on the Internet to get free gift cards to help the family budget…we have a Ford Escort Sports SE and it gets 35 to 38 mpg…..have cut down to one vehicle. We still are able to take trips, go out to eat, go to movies, but just not as often…I have a part-time online job so I can work at home (no traveling, no work clothing budget, etc.)…….things are really tight but we just have to tighten the budgets…I am even managing to stash some money away into savings.
