Under such economic climate, it won't be a bad idea to save a little more money, and you can come up any idea to do so. For me, I want to save an extra money monthly, I decided to move back with my parents, so I don't have to be incumbent with those rents and utility bills. For my parents at home, especially my mom, she started to gardening at the backyard. After 3 months hard work and patience, she finally get some vegetable out of her small gardening area, also, we get some melon from it. At this way, we save our money on the some grocery shopping. She might study other gardening skill too. So, during a tough time, we learn a little more of this and that to save extra money, don't we?

Im hoping to start saving again. My husband and I were behind in bills, but now we are caught up. I am hoping to start my own online business later in September. My husband is in college and I will be starting grad school so I am hoping to save some of my financial aid money. I also work on mylot and after I buy my husband the one thing he really wants I will be able to save again. I have been trying to find ways to save money as well. I make alot of home made gifts for Christmas and that helps me save money. I buy gifts thoughout the year instead of last minute.
I am glad that you were able to move back in with your parents. That should save you money.

I think it is a good idea to grow your own vegetables, and it is a nice way to save some money on grocery shopping. My ex-boyfriend and I had a small garden where we grew our own vegetables. We had carrots, potatos etc and it was very nice because we were able to get free carrots for our rabbits instead of buying them in the shop and free vegetable for our own food. My husband and I have a small garden in front of our house and we have talked about creating a vegetable garden there, but we haven't decided which vegetables we want.
