I believe in being frugal, but, considering the amount of over processed junk food on the table in this photo, they have gone too far when it comes to the cavalier way in which they fuel their bodies. I’d love to see their health care bills! Diabetes 2, anyone? I assure you, that’s no way to “economize!?

Wow! This family has taken being frugal and made it a fun family game it sounds like! I love that they are organized about it and stick to it. Yes, it’s common sense, but not many people do it. Good for them!

Hmmm….good point Beth. I double checked this story and they have SEVEN members in their family. So they do have 5 kids. I believe that the caption contains a typo (it’s part of the graphic I borrowed).

It could be this nasty cold has hampered my ability to count, but what happened to kid #6 mentioned in the photo caption? Is the “household” six or eight?

I think this family is the kind to look up to. Maybe after this recession, if they still live on a similar budget, and the kids find jobs too, I’m sure they’ll be able to save tons of money to get all the luxuries they want.
