My best money saving tips are to join all of the birthday clubs for your children. You could practically have a free birthday full of things for them to do. For example, they can get a free kids meal at Burger king, a free scoop of ice cream at coldstone, a free game of bowling at City Lanes, etc...definitly worth the time of entering.
ReplyDeleteMy money saving tip...only take the kids on "Kids Eat Free" nights. It's crazy how expensive it is to eat out these days.
ReplyDeleteamynhtown@yahoo.com
Stay home and don't go shopping unless you absolutely need something. That way, you'll stop impulse buying.
ReplyDeleteMake coffee or tea at home - avoid the expensive Starbucks/Dunkin' Donuts/etc. brands.
ReplyDeleteGo to used bookstores or use paperbackswap.com for book rather than buying new.
ReplyDeleteMy brother lives in brooklyn... it's hard to save money there. Congrats on your blog launch, I'm still working on mine. utgal2004[at]yahoo[dot]com
cut out and organize in a folder coupons from the Sun newspaper.
ReplyDeleteDon't clip coupons of products you don't ordinarily buy.
ReplyDeletebest money saying tip i have is to not spend any
ReplyDeletemy money saving tip- create a budget and STICK TO IT!!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win this! geennalee@aol.com
if I just need to get something basic instead oof going to the grocery store I go to CVS or Walgreens, they have basics at about the same price as the store and I am less likely to impulse shop
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tip is to inform people to stop wasting $$ on expensive household cleaners. You can get a huge container of white vinegar for $2.00 and a huge bag of baking soda (I know at costco for $5.00). These will last you MONTHS and they do a much better job than the $3.00 per bottle for the commercial cleaners. Using white vinegar on my mirrors make them come out streak free, baking soda/white vinegar in the tub/shower make it sparkle and makes cleaning up soap scum a breeze. I have a chrome sink, it takes the grim of easily and I also pour it down the garbage disposal monthly to clean it out, just put some baking soda in and pour in the white vinegar and let it foam and sit for a while. It also cleans glassware to a sparkling shine. Put it in your dishwasher instead of the expensive Cascade/or the likes. So many uses for this non-toxic stuff, I feel better using this around my family. My dog has skin issues, I give her bathes in diluted water/vinegar and it helps her from scratching. I could go on and on with all I use this on but I will stop there. Good stuff for pennies on the dollar.
ReplyDeleteMy best tip is to consider baking your own bread and growing your own food. The amount of money I save because I bake is considerable plus the bread has no added preservatives and is delish!!
ReplyDeleteIn summer we also have a veggie garden and save lots of money. This year I am planning to can and preserve some of the veggies for winter.
If I have to make a shopping purchase, I look for online codes. Its a simple method, just type the name of the store with the words "coupon codes" or "promotional codes." You can usually find 10-30% off and free shipping deals.
ReplyDeleteSIMPLE....destroy your credit cards; If you don't have he CA$H.. don't buy it!
ReplyDeleteA money saving tip is decide and plan ahead before going into the grocery store as to what your going to buy. Make a list of the items you need and only buy what is on that list. Look for those items through the online printable coupon websites and print the coupon to even save more money per item.
ReplyDeleteTry to avoid the last minute easy grab items at the checkout. They may seem little and inexpensive at the time but the cost does add up.
Also try only doing shopping twice a week and make a habit of using what is in your pantry first before buying more. I had a bad tendency to try and stock up and end up continually spending more money.
Im following this blog on blogger.
ReplyDeleteLook for coupons online and restaurant discounts! You can almost always find a "kids eat free" coupon at a local restaurant!
ReplyDeleteMy best money saving tip is to start by shopping at thrift stores for big ticket items.

ReplyDeletemesweep (at) hawaii (dot) rr (dot) com
I had free meals at several restaurants for my birthday every year. You sign up at the web-sites and they send you an e-mail a few weeks before your birthday and it's good for a week after your birthday. Some require a buy 1 get 1 ,but that's what my husband is good for.
ReplyDeleteI like to go to Ebay and get things I need at a really low price. It might take longer to get things - but the savings make it worth the wait.

Right now, he is going through the whole house-every nook and cranny, cupboard and closet just to take stock of what we have and what we need. What he has found is amazing! Stuff put away years ago and forgotten about-like a whole bag of tealghts! We are trying not to spend money unnecessarily. Thank you!
ReplyDeletemake your coffee at home

My best money saving tip is to buy items on sale, combine with mfg coupons and store coupons. Most weeks I am able to pick up cleaning products, bath & body products, makeup, etc. from two of the well known drug stores to end up with my products free or a small percentage of the normal cost. I only shop at the grocery store on double coupon days; when possible do the same combining of store coupon with mfg coupons & trying to stick with sale items.

ReplyDeleteWe have been only going out to restaurants that either have a buy one get one free coupon or huge portions that we only have to buy one of and sharing. It obviously saves money but it is also kind of romantic in a way. If we wind up sharing a meal, we also share a dessert so that's not too bad either.
ReplyDeleteMy tip is to cook with "real" foods instead of pre-packaged or convenience foods. It is also healthier for you. If you have the room a vegetable garden is a good way to save money too.
ReplyDeleteDon't buy daily coffee from a coffee house.
