coupon swap

Get together with a neighbor or friends and swap coupons at least monthly. You'll score some great coupons that way and you'll be able to help each other to keep the family budget in line.

Artistic Wrap

Whenever we need to wrap a gift for child's birthday I use plain white gift boxes and I let my children use markers/ crayons to decorate the box instead of buying wrapping paper. I will write the birthday child's name on the box in large letters with a sweet message in smaller print to indicate from who.

Save a bundle

I purchased an antique home in NH built in 1804. My tip is SCOTT's is the only way to go. My septic tank inspection prior to closing was a vauable lesson. He told me only use SCOTT toilet tissue it says right on the package safe for septic tanks. I look around and sure enough they are the only ones that say that. To call a plumber is costly when all you have to do to sve a bundle is buy SCOTT!

Grocery list

I make a grocery list of everything I normally buy and when its time to buy grocery's I just print it off my computer and mark the things off I don't need at the present time and buy the things I do need. If I stick to my list I spend alot less and always come away with everything I need and nothing I don't.
