I try to do nothing during the week beyond personal care and meals. That means I will not even think about doing laundry, going to the grocery store, etc. That stuff has to get done on the weekend. I know a lot of people are very successful doing cleaning and chores after the kids go to bed, but I can not do it, I am just too wiped out during the week.

Amazon is my best friend, I haven't set foot in a proper store in forever, lol.

I make sure we have enough clothes for the week on Sunday, I also pack the car at night (except for food). I like to begin the work week with no laundry, an empty dishwasher, full fridge and the house in good order, makes the week less crazy.

We use Amazon Prime for most of our paper products, household goods, and toiletries. Honestly, I haven't even compared the prices to Costco because the convenience factor is so high. Although I do think the Amazon costs are pretty comparable.

To make dinner time easier, we got a chest freezer when I went back to work. If we have a slow weekend, I'll fill up the freezer for crazier times. I make double batches of a few kinds of soup, make a huge batch of spaghetti sauce with meat and veggies (2 lbs of ground beef, some shredded carrot, chopped onions, chopped green pepper, mushrooms, and 2 giant jars of marinara). We also always keep turkey burgers, tortellini, and some frozen pizzas in there for backups.

Not sure if this counts as a "tip" but we hired a cleaning lady too!
