My budget fell apart.- now what do I do ?

Answer to my budget fell apart, now what do I do!

• Don't be afraid to ask for help.   Some cities have a number where you can call for referrals.   
• Coupons are free and you can get them, from friends or neighbors or the recycle bin.   Some come in the mail. With  coupons, you can  get personal  products for free or nearly free.   You do have to pay the applicable sales tax .  
• Food can be greatly reduced with coupons too.   Look for sales. Go  to more than one grocery store.    Look in the bins where they keep managers specials..   Don't overbuy and eat it immediately-- like that day or cook it and freeze it,   
• Rice and beans are a good and can be bought in bulk cheap.   Rice is .03 a serving: beans are four.   
• Soups  are a good way to stretch and feed you for many meals.   
• Overstock grocery stores sometimes are resources for inexpensive  food.   Some is near pull date, but still good.  Use it soon.   
• Scratch cook.   Don't be afraid to De-bone  chicken, or chop meat, or make bread.   There are recipes for ez breads out there.    
• Pinterest is full of recipes and ideas for cheap meals.  
• Know your prices and only buy things that are the cheapest price they can be.   
• Eat foods high in protein and high in fiber for breakfast,  you will stay fuller, longer- like an egg and a bowl of oatmeal.   
• Sign  up for all the grocery stores rewards cards.  Sometimes  they offer free food or basket 
• coupons. 
• Buy the basics first--things  you can make a multitude of meals from -- flour, beans, rice, eggs, cheese. Oatmeal, a couple of chickens on sale.    Add diced  tomatoes and dairy and vegetables as you go.      
• Use Ibotta to get rebates from things you buy.   There are several companies that will give you rebates and you can use more than one.   That would pay for things like socks , personal products , etc.  
• get down to no frills basics.   

Hope this helps !
