But, one way I have gotten myself more organized is to plan my family's weekly menu. At our house we have my husband, me and our two sons who eat smaller portions of the same foods we do. Some days they eat way more than other days.
Read MoreWe are nearing the end of our No Spend Month. While we have had a few hiccups, I am pleased to say that our family not only met our savings goal for the month, we exceeded it by $200!
This has really helped motivate us as we work toward some future savings goals.
It's also been a reminder that saving money can be a habit and not a chore. It has become almost second nature to us and while we're not always perfect at it I am proud of the progress we have made.

Read MoreYou have heard me talk and talk and talk about the importance of a budget. But what about budgeting if you have in irregular income? This is actually a question I get a lot and I have a little bit of experience with this.
When Jason and I first started budgeting we had an irregular income because Jason worked a lot of overtime and I worked a full-time job and freelanced. Our income was a lot smaller than it is today and it was frequently irregular.
