Raising a family in a tough economic time

Submitted by Christina Good Voice on Tue, 2008-04-01 10:50.

The rising cost of everything from fuel to a loaf of bread has hit our family pretty hard. We're still doing OK, but we've had to make some adjustments due to the high costs of everyday items. A gallon of milk costs nearly $4 and our 14-month-old son downs two gallons a week. We recently found out we're expecting our fourth child -- who is due in October :) -- and we're already planning and trying to save for the costs associated with a new baby.
