What do you SAVE money on

1. We use Netflix. I know this is an expense, BUT we no longer buy dvds and we wait for movies to be available on Netflix rather than go and spend a fortune at the theater for each one we'd like to see. I buy all holiday supplies after the holidays have passed and everything is 70% off. I never buy wrapping paper, tape, etc. before the holidays. :) Same goes for Christmas cards.

5. We eat at home. I can't even tell you how much money this saves. :P

I shop sales, CL, Ebay, second hand stores, and outlets for clothing and shoes for us and DD.

I almost NEVER buy anything without a coupon IE free shipping, 10% off ect.

I shop Costco 1x a month and buy meat in bulk and freeze it. I also meal plan out 2 weeks at a time so when I go to the store I can purchase everything I need at once and make many meals. I also buy store brand whenever I can and again, I use coupons!

I have bought almost all of LO items on CL, EBAY, or have been given to me. I refinished DD bedroom furniture for LO, and then refinished a ugly dresser from CL for DD. Good as new for less than $50 for both!

I am a SAHM so I try to make 1 day a week errand day and get everything done THAT DAY. That way I am not wasting gas and making un needed trips.

I am sure there are other things to add but this is what I can think of now.

* Make our own laundry detergent (super cheap and washes clothes excellent)

* Grocery shop at Alidi's and sales

* never buy clothes full price. We shop a year in advance and shop all the clearance. I buy DD's clothes for less then $3 an item always. I would buy her used but she is rough on her clothes

*got rid of our house phone so now we have internet and cell only

*no eating out

*shop for holidays and birthdays in advance and buy it on clearance.
