Answer 3

For small purchases (groceries, clothing, etc.) coupons work great - if you would have bought the item anyway. Also, watch for sales on non-perishable items (toilet paper, kitty litter, dish soap, etc.) and buy extra when the item goes on sale to stock up enough to carry you through the time the item is not on sale. Compare private brands (Walmart's Great Value, etc.) with the national brands (Kellogg's, etc.) - if you can't tell a taste difference (or like the private brand better!) you can save a lot by buying the private brand.

For larger purchases, know what you are willing to spend, how much the item should cost and don't buy when it is first released. A brand new car for the model year can be yours for thousands less if you can wait until November instead of buying it in February.

Answer 4

Food

• Use cloth napkins, reusable silverware, reusable cups, and reusable plates (Get rid of paper napkins, paper plates, and plastic silverware.)
• Use coupons and watch for sale prices (Specifically, stock-up whenever non-perishable items like toilet paper go on sale.)
• Look online for eCoupons (Check coupons.com and your store's website for coupons online. Stores like Meijer and Kroger have coupons you can clip and use)
• Cook meals at home (Home cooked meals are not only healthy, they are cheaper than going out to eat and spending $60.)
• Use Leftovers
• Meal plan (If time permits.)
• Always keep a few homemade meals stocked up in the freezer (to prevent "Suzie had a late soccer practice, lets grab McDonalds" you can easily just pop something in the freezer)
• Use a crockpot
• Use a deep freezer and stock-up when needed
• Grow your own lettuce and herbs
• Freeze herbs (Clean herbs, put them in a ice cube tray, slowly fill with water, freeze for 24 hours, then pop the herbs into a bag and freeze.)
• Grow your own tomatoes and peppers; then make your own salsa (See Related Links at the bottom of this article for the recipe)
• Plan a grocery list stick with it
• Buy frozen vegetables
• Give store brand a try (Try one small bag/box of the item. Normally, name brand and store brand are produced in the exact same place. Sometimes, the store-brand is completely different, and of course, you can get those luxuries once in a while)
• Don't ever go the store for less than five items (Save gas)
• Pack lunches (Use reusable lunch boxes and pack Sandwiches, chips, and fruit)
• Make your own freezer jam
• Make your own cooking oil
• Cut up old t-shirts for paper towels

Apparel

• Look for swimsuits at the end of July or August (Garage sales normally don't have good swimsuits. Try to buy swimsuits at the end of the year where they will be super cheap. This will also work for anything else of any type. Look for your summer clothes at the end of summer and winter clothes at the end of winter. Look for Christmas wrapping paper around January)
• Sew holes/tears
• Garage sale, go to thrift stores, or second-hand stores (I have found quality Abercrombie, Aeropostle, Justice, Gap, American Eagle, Gymboree, etc.)
• Cut your own hair
• Turn jeans with holes into shorts (For girls, you can also add some sort of inexpensive ribbon to the bottom of them. This is cute and fun!)
• Give up alcohol, cigarettes, and drugs (This will save you a LOT of money and is also good on your body)

Extra

• Pay your bills on time to avoid late fees
• Use grocery store bags instead of trash bags
• Pay everything you can with cash instead of credit cards.
• Take advantage of customer rewards. (Like places that have "Buy 5 get 1 Free" cards)
• Buy appliances based on quality, not price (If you buy a cheap sweeper that breaks every other year, wouldn't it be wiser to invest in a more expensive but quality sweeper that will last you for years?)
• Teach your kids how to save money

Answer 5

☺ Some good ideas for saving for college ☺

• start a money jar that says: Coins for College. Add random coins in everyday that you find. Also try adding 50 cents every other day. Note: For this one you may need to start earlier. Maybe at age 12 or younger

• Have a separate bank account only for college savings.

• For birthday money (If you still get it) put it straight in your college savings.

• Don't be a big spender.

• do good in school. Doing wel in school could get you scholar ships.

• get a job (If your old enough) Getting a job could get you more money than sitting on the couch. You can decide yourself if you would want to put all of it in your college savings. If not you should put most of it.

Note: These are just some ideas. You don't have to do any of them and don't rely on just those ideas itself. Strongly use #5 because that is your best bet on not having to pay as much.

Thank you for your time

Answer 7

Some of the most common ways to lower living expenses is to reduce the amount we spend in retail establishments. Instead of buying coffee every morning, consider brewing it at home. Instead of going out for dinner, cook something at home from fresh food. Instead of going out drinking every week, hang out with friends at home. A significant portion of most people's budgets is in disposable income so there is a lot of room to cut expense that we don't really need.
