How do you save money!

Chad · 03-14-2017, 06:00 PM

I eat a lot of meat so when I find it on sale I buy it and freeze it. I also buy frozen veggies on sale and freeze them. I love fresh veggies but I only buy what I will eat that week.

I too pay cash at the grocery store.
I make all my food from scratch and that saves me a lot of money.

I plan my expenses each week and that helps a lot. I always put aside a little fun money but if I don't spend it then I am ahead of the game the next week.

Happy savings friends!

I am getting my hair trimmed at the beauty school for $10.00!

I will let you know if this was a really bad idea.

When I go to Starbucks, I always just get tea. I don't need all the sugar in a latte anyway (although this is easy for me to say since I don't drink coffee.)

I still spend money but not as much as I did, when I was in a relationship,

I put money away. I can be dead poor but I don't touch my savings. I am waiting for the housing market to crash again.

By returning EVERYTHING I bought today!

Nothing was quite right once I got home - not the dog beds, shower curtain or bath rug.

I save money by not buying anything that is tagged with extra taxes or tariffs. I don’t know how long the American economy will survive once it’s irrevocably changed by our latest person occupying the WH.

I also stash cash, too.

By shopping for my pantry, not just for the week. At this time of year especially, I stock up on things that go on sale this time of year that I use all year. For example, Campbell's soups; they go on sale for 79 cents each instead of $1.99 or $2.09 each. Turkey is 39 cents a pound, and I will roast at least one and freeze the meat, and make stock from the carcass and freeze that too. Same with ham, I will freeze the meat left over from Thanksgiving and Christmas and make stock with the bones.
