How do you save money?

I save money by shopping around for deals on the things I buy. I buy generics a lot if they are good quality ones because they're usually cheaper than the name brands. If I'm going to a restaurant I try to find coupons for it online. When the supermarket has a great special on something I buy in bulk and freeze most of it if it is something that keeps well in the freezer.

Don´t buy branded goods. You are just paying the name. Put of the lights where it was not used. Don´t buy what you don´t need. Don´t take a shower for an hour, 10 minutes will do unless you are so dirty. Buy in packs as the goods are cheaper than when you just buy one when you need it. These are only some of the tips and i do them all. What I can save, I´ll put it in my "travel bank"

I have a garden with strawberries, cucumbers, and tomatoes. Also have bushes with blueberries and raspberries and one lemon tree. This saves me money, as less produce to buy and freeze anything that we can't eat right away. I do look for sales and buy produce when its in season, as some produce is really high because its not locally grown like cherries. I have watched the show and sometimes gain some tips to save money; however, it does make me shake my head when I see them do something that is unhealthy or just not safe. If you do something that makes you sick and end up needing medication or end up in the hospital to make you healthy, then you haven't saved money. One tip I haven't seen posted is bartering, as when you trade products your saving money. I barter some of my lemons for other produce, as I don't have room to grow all the vegetables and fruits that my family enjoys eating now. My neighbors that don't have a Lemon Tree were happy to trade. Several neighbors have Orange Trees, so I'm having fresh squeezed Orange Juice right now.

When I read lessons on saving money, I am motivated to save. However, after a month or two, I think I'm having difficulty in disciplining myself. I tend to go back to the old habit of spending, spending, and more spending without really taking the discipline to save, save, and save more. Sometimes, I do really hate this self for not making it a habit and lifestyle to save.
