I use coupons! Lots of them. I get them from a canadian site. I'll change up my address slightly to get more. Also I cut the fabric sheets in half. Make my own frebreeze for cents. Add bread in the meatloaf kinda stuff. I am a freebie hunter and try to find any kind of freebie. Go to clothing depos for used clothing which is super great and helps when you have three children to dress. Walk when I can and try to pick activities for the kids that don't cost much money. Parks, beaches, skating on ponds. I download movies to avoid the 3 hour drive to the movie theatre (I live in the sticks) lol. Cuts the cost of movie night from over $100 to under $10 snacks included. LOL Reuse everything that I can think of. Pick wild berries and fruit. Grow a garden too. Every penny matters.

There are few ways i adopt to save some money for the future. Let me share them with you, 1) Invested in a stable companies shares and i guess that is going to earn me more than the bank interest. 2) Lend some amount of my every months earnings to my friends so that i wont spend every thing what ever i earn. 3) Buy some articles instead of some thing that is volatile. 4) Maintain a Box where i just drop all the change that is accumulated in my pocket every day.

accordingly, sometimes if i go to grocery bargain stores such as save alot, ive been known to get pasta there for a cheaper price. and its a lot better in price than some of the brand names.

Well for starters my husband likes to buy the gallons of juice at the supermarket. Since they are loaded with sugar I water it down a bit. That makes the juice last longer.
