Ways to save money

[Optiwoman]

I've started using coupons for the first time in my life, and using fuel perks to save on gas.  I generally am able to get 20 gallons a month for about $10 - $15.  That alone saves us between $50- $60 a month

I have been trying not to by brand name things anymore the generic stuff is the same thing its just cheaper.Plus I have been saving alllll of my change.So I started a change jar! Last month I ended up $45 worth of change

I use coupons when I go grocery shopping. Getting fuelperks is nice. Also, CVS has a great program using the extrabucks. It's like free money. I usually save more at CVS than I do the grocery store.

I have stopped going out just about every weekend which saves me on buying liquor/drinks and gas as well. Rather just stay home and relax with family. Been working out great so far.

I try to go to the near by stores, instead of driving farther...Gas prices keep going up and then down...So i really stay in the area when the prices are bad.

I take a different route to work to avoid tolls - same mileage however the speed limit is a lot slower. I also make my lunch and brew my own ice tea to take to work. Every little bit counts.

Couponing always worked for me! Plus, always saving a portion of the money you make!

Some ways I save money is that I use coupons. I also shop around for the best prices on thing via online research before I go to the store. I also try to only get the things I really need. Ride with a friend to the store for groceries, I also sometimes wash my clothes by hand because laundry mats have gotten so expensive. Carpool with friends to places I like to go.

I loved using public transportation when I worked downtown!  I would park my car for free and take the forty five minute ride into the city/forty five minute ride home and glory in being able to have ninety minutes all to myself!  I caught up on so much reading, planning, posting, clicking and work it was amazing!  I used to keep track of how much I was saving and plotted better ways of saving and investing!  I started taking my bike and cut the amount of mileage on my car down to about thirty miles per week including the once a month trip to the salvage yard to cash in thirty dollars worth of aluminum.  I would bike to the grocery store twice per week and didn't go out to eat which is a major expense.

Definitely by using coupons, and not spending frivously.  Sometimes hard, but it's the way we can make ends meet.

Cable TV was way too expensive, so I canceled it for a while. When I called them again, they gave me a 50% discount for the next 2 years. Sweet
