America's Cheapest Family is surviving and thriving on less

Ask the Economides household of Scottsdale, Ariz., what steps are necessary for an American family to make it in style during the recession. ”America’s Least expensive Household,” the Economides, want America to know that frugal living is possible without having to lick the pots in sorrow’s kitchen. According to MSNBC.com, the Economides are the model of what a modern American recession family should be.

Avoiding credit when it’s possible is exactly what ‘America’s Cheapest Family’ is known for

Getting credit cards and automobile loan aren’t things that interest America’s Least expensive Household. They do not even care about getting more home equity. The family has an extremely expensive home off of Scottsdale which is known for being a golf resort community. Probably the most interesting part is that they only live life off of $44,000 a year. And theirs is a family of seven that eats healthy food and wears designer clothing. Their life may seem impossible, but the Economides tell any person who’ll listen that bargain hunting and avoiding impulse buying are their key economic strategies. Their current book, “Cut Your Grocery Bill in Half – With America’s Cheapest Family,” is promoted as a game-changer for individuals who want to embrace frugal living without sacrificing quality.

You’ll need for making a plan

Preparing household spending is hard to do a while. One of the biggest parts of this is preparing household spending. Preparing meals far in advance is what the Economides do. Most people spend more on money because they make food decisions really easily instead of planning ahead which saves cash. It is feasible to do and works. America’s Cheapest Family shows us this. The Economides spend only $350 a week on groceries, while many other families spend $2,000 a week. It doesn’t take too much effort to do. Part of this is avoiding eating more than necessary.

It isn’t hard to get nice clothes

The Economides actually wear some brand names instead of the hand me down clothing you might expect to determine them in. The pricey new trends are things they avoid still, Matt Lauer said on “Today.”. They are willing to purchase nice jeans in a thrift store instead of paying $200 in a mall boutique for the very same thing. They save all the cash they can. The Economides have always used that philosophy. It helps them greatly.
