Awesome awesome ideas! I’m printing it out and putting it on my fridge. How about this one to add to the list:
Switch from a contract phone to a prepaid cell phone. I’m a college student who has a part-time job and was paying $80 a month on my contract phone (calling my parents out of state can get expensive). I found a plan (Straight Talk) which runs on the Verizon network which gives me unlimited talk, text, and data for $45 a month. It’s a great deal and a great phone. I bought mine at my local WalMart and just refill it every month online. Check it out!

Thanks, Janet! Especially in the winter, right? :) Love those hot soups and stews when it is cold out.

Loved this post, and *so* happy you are back from the holidays, I was going through withdrawl. :-)

I wanted to underscore your tip of going to the grocery store for a list. I now say I am not going going grocery *shopping* but grocery buying. And now I get out in no time flat — and with the best deals!

I’ve been meaning to add your blog to my blog roll, because honestly, it just has the best tips. Here’s to you in 2010!

What a terrific list of ways to save money and stretch your resources!! One of my favorite ways to save is to reduce the number of shopping trips I make. The less times I am in the store the less likely I am to pick up items that aren't on my list but we "need." I still will have to purchase these items, but I can add them to my list and determine what items are to purchased on the current shopping trip as opposed to being post-poned to a time when we have more room in the budget. Not to mention, keeping me from picking up true impulse buys! .-= Relishing Life´s last blog ..Blessings of 2009 =-.

This is a good list. I’d like to add the use of shopping search engines to compare prices. This will not only ensure that you get a good bargain, but also have a bargaining power.

Great, concise list.

Your crockpot is your friend for a busy day. Get it ready either the night before or 1st thing in the morning to avoid eating out.

My sister and I have kids about the same age and we do toy swaps every few months. Take the toys our kids aren’t playing with swap them for each others and the kids think it’s great! New toys we didn’t have to pay for. When we get ours back they are suddenly “new” again too.

Thanks for sharing such great post, we are earning without any of the future plans and spend it without any of the thought of tomorrow. According to me budgeting and minimize the use of credit card is the best way to save money.

Great list… especially avoiding impulse purchases. Many times people don’t realize how those little things really add up!

I think another great trip is to go with a friend on super double coupon days or triple coupon days. Even though your conscious will tell you what you should splurge on, a friend will tell you Yes you do need to get this, or No, that $1.00 price is too much…you can get it for free at CVS or some other store.

Thanks for a great post!

Plan ahead! Whenever I don’t plan for a super busy week or event, we always spend more than we anticipated.
