With everything being sky-high, ie gas, food…what have you started or stopped doing to save money?
Posted by pano | Under Herb Garden Friday May 7, 2010I have ended m netflix membership because we weren’t really watching the movies. I switched grocery stores. I’ve been going to a big chain store since I was a kid. Now I only go there for meat. I go to the super discount place now and pay .45 cents for a can of corn instead of .85 cents for the brand name on sale! I make my own laundry detergent and other cleaning products (saves money & are ‘green’ too). We routinely have ‘poker night’ at my house w/family and friends instead of meeting out somewhere. Cook at home ALOT more-family dinners out only 1x a month now.I live in WI, so I garden seasonally. This year I made my garden bigger and added some herbs, plan on freezing a bunch. I condense ALL trips in the car, we all walk more and I started letting my kids take the city bus ‘cuz it’s cheaper than me carting them around….how ’bout you?
We only eat out about once a month, no cable, buy in bulk, save trips to the store, and we use the grocery store that offers discounts on gas.
I’m getting divorced, which will save me loads of money because my ex liked to spend it all.
Track all expenses, and budget.
Nothing.
