Cate emailed in the following tip: I wanted to share with MoneySavingMom.com readers about one of the primary ways I save money on groceries for my family: salvage grocery stores. You know, the little clearance sections you sometimes see at your local chain grocery store? Imagine a whole store of that! For those who don’t know, salvage grocery stores (sometimes referred to as outlet, clearance, or discount grocery stores) carry items that regular grocery stores are not willing or able to sell. Salvage grocery stores will buy these items at a fraction of the cost and sell them to their customers at prices that are often half or less than what the original retail price was. Some examples of what you will find at a salvage grocery store are: - Foods with damaged packaging
- Foods at, near, or sometimes past the “best by” date
- Items that a store has discontinued
- Overstock
There are some crazy good deals to be had at salvage stores, but if you’re anything like I was at first, you have to adapt your mindset. The first time I went to a salvage grocery store, I had to get over the “ew” factor. But let me just say, that problem was pretty much entirely in my mind… and for the most part, unwarranted. There are some grocery salvage stores out there that are every bit as nice as regular grocery stores, but it’s not unusual to find a salvage grocery store that looks a little run down and maybe even smells a little funky. You are doing yourself a favor to get over your apprehension and check it out anyway. Many of these places can’t afford to have slick decor or an espresso bar; but when you see the prices, you’ll be glad to know you’re passing those things up for good reason. Salvage grocery stores are making good use out of foods that don’t meet the standards of regular stores. I frequently find items that have absolutely no apparent problem with them and aren’t even close to expiring. Salvage grocery stores seem to always have an abundance of organic and gluten-free items, as well as conventional items. So even if you’re not in it to pinch pennies necessarily, you can take your normal grocery budget and drastically increase the quality of food you’d otherwise buy. Just remember to use common sense, read up in expiration dates, and examine the foods carefully as you shop. These grocery stores are great places to support — see if there’s a salvage grocery store near you! -Cate

Guest post from Brigette Shevy This was my mom's go-to recipe to serve to company! For years, we had people over every single Friday night. More often than not, we served this scrumptious layered dessert. The recipe came from a longtime friend of my mom, and I can assure you that it's a definite winner! 
Chocolate Éclair Dessert is perfect to serve at/bring to holiday gatherings! It makes a large pan and can be made up ahead of time. Plus, even though it's really easy to make (my 7-year-old can almost do it by herself!), it looks and tastes much more elaborate. The rich chocolate layer compliments the light creamy filling, creating an mouthwatering balance that keeps people coming back for seconds (or even thirds and fourths – at least that's what happened the last time I brought it to a get-together!). No matter what day of the year you serve this dessert, be prepared to take recipe requests, receive rave reviews, and be left with an empty pan! Chocolate Éclair Dessert - 1 box of graham crackers (you won't use quite all of it)
- 2 3-ounce packages instant french vanilla pudding mix
- 3 cups milk
- 8 ounces Cool Whip or whipping cream, whipped
- 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate squares (if you prefer a dark chocolate flavor, use 4 ounces)
- 3 Tablespoons butter
- 2 Tablespoons corn syrup
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 3 Tablespoons milk
Line the bottom of a 9×13 pan with graham crackers. In a mixing bowl, mix together the pudding mix and milk until thick. Fold in the whipped topping. Spread half of the pudding mixture on top of the graham crackers. Top with another layer of graham crackers. Spread remaining pudding on top of crackers and top with another layer of crackers. Melt the chocolate and butter in a saucepan over low heat (this also works in the microwave). Add remaining ingredients and mix to spreading consistency (I use a hand mixer to make sure there aren't any lumps). Spread the chocolate over the top layer of graham crackers. Refrigerate 10-24 hours before serving. Makes a 9×13 pan

It’s Day 18 of the 21 Days to a Simple Christmas Challenge! Today, we’re going to be focusing on doing something special for our spouse (if you’re married). It’s so easy to get so wrapped up in all the busyness of the season that we fail to take to nurture our marriages. And yet, if you’re married there’s not really anyone more important than your spouse, is there? Day 18 Project 1. Read chapter 11 from Celebrating & Savoring a Simple Christmas. (Did you sign up for your free copy yet? If not, click here and fill out the form to be emailed a copy.) 2. If you’re married, do something special for your spouse today. It could be something as simple as writing a love note or making a treat they love. 3. Come back tonight around 8 p.m. and share what you did to bless your spouse. And I’ll share about what I did, too!

It’s Day 17 of the 21 Days to a Simple Christmas Challenge! Today, we whipped our homes into shape to prepare for the busy few days ahead. Here’s a little peek into the cleaning we did… 
I printed out the cleaning plan to cross off as we finished things. 
The basket of miscellaneous items from around the house. There were some interesting things we rounded up… some that ended up going straight into the trash and recycling bins. 
Lastly, we tackled the laundry pile. It wasn’t too enormous and Kathrynne helped me so we got it done in record time. 
And then I lit this favorite candle of mine to celebrate the clean house.  Did you do any Christmas cleaning today? If so, tell us about it in the comments or share the link to your blog post (if you’re blogging about the challenge).
