how having a baby has saved me money

We've all heard how much of a money suck children can be but I'm here to tell you that doesn't need to be the case. Here are a few simple ways that having a baby has saved my family money.

1. No time or energy to go out - fairly self explanatory. I am so exhausted most of the time that I truly rarely like to leave the house. But please don't save money this way. Enjoy your spouse, go on date nights or for a massage. You deserve it.

2. Eating out less often - yeah, no...we seem to do that more often...at least at the fast food places. We probably have been avoiding the sushi restaurant we love more...I miss sushi :(

3. Save money on clothing and makeup by no longer caring how you look. Again, not the best way to save money, but you can totally rock those old college sweats and choose to go "natural" instead of "made up."

There you have it having a baby really does make you spend more money...damn it. I wonder how much they are gong for on eBay ;) How do you cut costs in your family? Hit me up in the comments below.
