Ways to save money

[tikihut5]

I buy gifts year round. Using coupons has helped save money on things we need.

We coupon and make our own laundry detergent, deodorant and toothpaste (Unless I get it free with couponing!)

Budget budget and stay withing in it. Use coupons, brown bag it too work. I  rode the bus a lot when i worked. Now i don't go to the store unless i need to. impluse buying hurts the budget. I have to take dad to doctors 80 miles away so i do most of my major shopping at walmart and the meat market. Saves a lot of money because our grocery store is inflated. Also buy  alot of produce at the distribution center, it about  a third of what it cost at the store.

I cut of my TV cable.  I think most of the thing I do now is on the internet and I don't watch TV offen so I cut that part off.  It save me 30 or more a month.

I lost my job so I guess I am saving on gas but than again I am not making any money.  I can't believe I got fired but oh well, I have farm animals I take care of and I have been cutting wood and I am taking a load off tomorrow.

We used to live in a house 5 of us but we only rented well the house went on the market and you wouldn't believe who bought it our next door neighbor (common) but anyway my brother went to Waldorf cuz that is closer to his work he will be saving at least $100 in gas and myself and my daughter and her daughter moved closer to her work but she will only save like $10.00 and the fifth person is still in the house we have until the 30th and it is close to his work but he hasn't found a place yet but he is thinking on moving far away from his job so he will have to find work closer to where he will live.

Taking surveys on different sites to earn money.

Always pay off the credit card, pack a lunch, don't eat out much, take advantage of savings in stores. That is a good start!

When I go shopping, I try to do all my errands in one day. When I shop, I use coupons as often as possible.

I spend three hours on Sundays preparing the family meals for the week.  I reconciled our check book and noticed that, prior to cooking on Sundays, the kids would spend two dollars and fifty cents a day on lunch/spouse would drop five dollars a day, and I would drop five dollars a day. Ten dollars a day/Three hundred dollars a month! Each meal I make is big enough for a couple of meals and general costs about fifteen dollars. I make sandwiches for the kids lunches which costs about seventy five cents. I make a salad for my wife and I which costs about a dollar!
