 Breakfast at Home Makes CentsWe’re up early around our house, and while it would be tempting to sleep in a little later and grab a bite to eat on the run, we know that eating at home is better for us.

Breakfast at home isn’t just healthier – it’s far more economical.  A simple breakfast of cereal, milk, and fruit can cost around 50 cents.  Grab something from the drive-thru and you could easily spend $4 or more.  The simple act of eating a quick bite at home only takes about fifteen minutes.  But it can save you more than $1,200 annually.

And of course, you can save even more when you pair great sales with some fabulous breakfast coupons.  Right now you can print several coupons for Big G cereals, Yoplait Yogurt, Cascadian Farms, Nature Valley and more right from your home computer.  Use those coupons to stock up on quick and healthy breakfasts and use the money you save for something fun.

Want to get a running start on your way to cheaper, healthier breakfasts?

One lucky reader will win a Breakfast At Home Makes Cents prize pack!Breakfast at Home Makes Cents [Read more…]
