Ways to Save

  1. Install a reverse osmosis water filter and give up bottled water
  2. Bake your own bread and pizza dough
  3. Bake your own goodies and give up Little Debbie's
  4. Shop at Aldi's Foods and Wal Mart Super Center
  5. Create a price comparison sheet. I've attached mine to help you get started.
  6. Replace countertops with granite tiles rather than solid slabs
  7. Shop for used items on craigslist.org before buying new.
  8. Sell something on craigslist to raise the funds before you buy something off of craigslist. I call this my craigslist petty-cash funds.

Any good ideas on finding savings? I have a friend that so sweetly emails me when the department stores have their sales. She has a good handle on the clothes bargains.

  1. My 11 1/2 year old just read "So You're About to be a Teenager" by Dennis & Barbara Rainey. It goes along with Passport to Purity and is a good quick read
