Saving Money

Saving money has always been a hard task. These days it's even harder.
Where do you cut back?
Here are a few quick ideas:
Food products:
  • Make a shopping list based on the products on sale at your local store
  • Clip coupons
  • Buy more than you need for that week. Example: Cereal is on sale at a fantastic price.

Buy enough to last for a few weeks, saving over time.

Entertainment

  • More walks, don't forget to take your dog.
  • Visit your local library, check out the books and DVD's.
  • The library also may have other activities such as story time for the kids
  • Find a family sport of interest to the whole family, could be kickball or horseshoes.

Not much equipment needed for most easy sports.

  • Learn a new craft. Some require very few supplies. Whittling, crocheting, drawing.
  • Look around for free community events. Exhibitions, craft fairs, holiday events.
