We want to be faithful, wise managers of the resources that have been entrusted to us. There are many benefits to good stewardship, but like all things in homemaking, economy in the kitchen doesn’t just come naturally to most of us and there are many things that can trip us up and hinder our progress.
In this episode we will first look at the why of kitchen economy; how it honors God, our husbands and helps our homemaking. Then we will discuss how our grocery bills are impacted by our skills and expectations. Finally we will look at how to use money and time management for practicing good kitchen economy with 15 money and time saving tips.
