If your kids lie mushrooms and you can find them on the cheap this is a delicious French dip alternative. It says to use portobello but we’ve found any kind works. https://www.budgetbytes.com/vegetarian-french-dip-sandwiches/

I have had to switch back to an old job bc of losing hours in my current one. I have been grateful for that it can allow me to just work 2 days a week and spend more time with the kids (I have had to work extra to make up the difference in hours). Getting handme downs from coworkers and friends has been so helpful with the kids clothes, because that is an extra expense our budget just doesn’t have a ton of room for.

Our fun pizza nights consist usually of a $10 Costco pizza instead of our favorite shop these days, and I buy more things in bulk and buy less small specific items if I don’t use it often. If I make soup or something we don’t eat all of quickly, I freeze the rest so I can reheat it in the crockpot later. I also just take what people give me and see if we can use it first before I pass on it (my husband is anti clutter, but most of our furniture and some of our appliances are from people kindly giving them to us).
