A large family is typically considered any family with 4 or children or more. Do you have a large family? If you said yes to that question, you probably already know how expensive it can be to support a large family. Kids aren’t cheap, y’all!
These money saving tips for large families are going to help you stress less and smile more because your budget won’t be so strained and you won’t be kept up all night long from the stress of it all. Heck, many small families have those same stresses, just often on a different level.
Money Saving tips for Large Families
Buy in Bulk
I’m not usually big on pressuring people to buy in bulk. I don’t typically think that it is a blanket option for saving money for families. The only time that I recommend buying in bulk is if your family uses a lot of a certain product (for example, we eat a lot of oatmeal here so I often buy it in bulk), and when you have a larger family.
You have a larger family which means that you go through more food, which means that bulk shopping is a great idea!
Meal Plan
Meal planning is hugely beneficial to all families, large and small. Not only does it save you money, but it also saves you time! Another thing that meal planning does is helps you to prevent food waste in your household.
This doesn’t just mean dinner either. It’s a good idea to make a meal plan for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Meal planning just makes life easier.
Thrift Shopping
Thrift shopping is one of my favorite ways to save money! If you have children, you know how expensive their clothes are. That’s why thrift shopping for clothes for the family is such a great way to save money!
Thrift shopping is good for more than just clothing too. Appliances, home decor and toys are all great to buy second hand too!
