Turning the TV off for good?

It's an idea I have toyed with for a while now.... Actually pulling the plug on television in our house. Maybe even just cutting it out gradually. Maybe going cold turkey and suffering the withdrawal symptoms Mommythe kids will inevitably have (whining, complaining, arguing, and then the final caving in of will)? Look what Trent @ The Simple Dollar says,
10 Financial Reasons to Turn Off Your Television... There are a bunch of money-saving articles on the site, if you have time!

Hillbilly Housewife

Hey guys! A year ago, I came across this really cool website called, Hillbilly Housewife. The biggest draw to the site was the advertising of their "Emergency $45 Menu" and the "$70 Low Cost Menu." I immediately printed them both off and went to work following her recipes. With the rising cost of gas and now FOOD at the stores, I thought I would pass it along!!

Here's a quote from Susanne, the new owner of the site,

"We are designed to help you reduce your grocery bill as low as it can go. It won't solve all of your financial woes, but it may give you some breathing room so you can make a significant dent in your situation. We teach you the best foods to buy on a budget and how to cook them so the family will be better fed than they've been in years. You'll find tips and techniques here that you won't find anywhere else on the web. Everything here is free, provided by God's grace. If the information you find here helps you and your circumstances, then please share what you have learned with others, so they too can benefit from your new knowledge."

Enjoy!
