If you’re trying to save money and it seems slow going, try shaving a little extra cash from your expenses with the following ideas:
Coffee and other beverages: This is a big ticket item for many people, especially if you work out of your home. Buy three or four well-made thermoses and water bottles and make […]
You can haggle at a flea market sure; but can you haggle a normal bill? In some cases yes.
Just last week I decided to cancel my cable. One, we’re moving, and I need a little extra cash. Two, we’re moving, and sooner or later, I’d cancel anyhow. Three, we just don’t watch enough TV to […]
I wish I could remember where I read this; but I don’t. I do however remember the tip. I was reading some book-magazine-newspaper (?) and it noted that studies surrounding saving money, show that folks who create a monthly automatic transfer of funds from their checking to savings, save more over time then people who […]

I’m forever talking about homemade ice pops. Mainly I got interested in homemade pops to cut down on garbage. I hate tossing all that plastic away. That said, I had a problem with homemade ice pops for the last few years - I didn’t have the best molds. I had those kinds that are attached […]
Not all my posts will be this long; but I figured I should tell my budgeting story, before I get going with other thrifty tips. If you read my intro post, you’d know that I said I’m pretty darn thrifty. That said, how could I possibly spend $700 + on slurpees?
