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.
