If you would like to can also find Good Deal Mama on Facebook, Twitter, RSS Reader, and in your Email Daily!

Some tips to get started…

1. Pick your recipes {I am going to work with 5}
2. Write your grocery list {for like items, just make a tally so you know how many to buy}
3. Search through your stockpile first, before the store. {this might influence your #1 and #2 so maybe do this first. I plan on looking at items everyone has been able to get cheap/free lately and use them first.
4. Look at how you will store these items. If the meal is casserole like, it would be good to put it in a dish with lid. If it’s “meal parts” {ex. mashed potatoes and pork} could be stored in freezer bags. Make sure you have enough of whichever you are using.
5. Plan your prep {prep all alike ingredients}, the order in which to cook, and then assemble.

So, interested in starting with me? Let me know in the comments, and if there is enough interest I will work up 5 meals we can bulk cook. With recipes, ingredients list, and steps to prepare, and next Saturday I will share them all with you. I think these 5 meals I will make double batches {so a total of 10 meals} Lets start there, and see how that goes….

Any tips, suggestions, comments?

I understand that this is not the first thing one would do on the road to living thrifty, first one would shop deals, start a stockpile, and then do this. And I have not covered in detail, how to do the first two {plan on it!} but this is calling me, so please feel free to ask any questions about ANYTHING if you would like! I will answer as best I can!

Did you know about the way to get swagbucks everyday?  Now, instead of viewing the Special Offers once a week for 1 Swag Buck, you can view them each day for 3 Swagbucks.  Please remember this is affected by the point value change (3 is actually .3 under the old system).  You will automatically be credited at the end of each set of offers (no more copying and pasting codes). So you go to swagbucks, click on Special Offers, Click Go Now,  click through them {you don’t have to actually do any} and get rewarded with 3 swagbucks!  It only took me about 3 offers to get the swagbucks, not too bad, I can do this everyday!{Thanks Money Saving Maddness!}

Remember to sign up for Swagbucks, click on the link on the right, that says Swagbucks, Earn Prizes, and use code GOODDEALMAMA for 60 Swagbucks!
