Make your own laundry soap. Learn to crochet to make wash colths. Be inventive in using things you already have on hand to make things you need.

Think twice before you buy… especially online. It’s so easy to do and with a feel-good buzz, and then getting a package is fun… but then you’ve got a lot of junk to throw away (and shortage of cash).

We only eat out 2 times a month. You will be amazed how much you save once you stop eating out and cut out all those coffee runs. I now make coffee at home too as well 🙂

I make my own general purpose cleaner with vinegar, I’ve started making the majority of our meals at home. Meal planning and making an accompanying shopping list so that I don’t buy food we don’t need. And I’ve saved a lot using the Ibotta app. It can save you a lot of money, but be careful, because I’ve been lured into buying unnecessary things, just because they were really cheap, lol. I’ll post my referral link if you’re interested 😊

I love the ideas I’ve seen in the comments here, especially the laundry soap and household cleaners you can make yourself.

I loved reading all the comments to get some new ideas! I’ve been looking for ways to save and I think a big one for my family is eating out. We are always on the go so if I do a lot more meal prep and planning I think I could cut down that cost a lot. I also love the making your own household cleaners! Thanks everyone for the ideas!

So many great ideas, ladies!!! Thank you for sharing!
I’ve cut cost by no longer purchasing items that we just toss in the trash. For example, paper napkins, paper towels, paper plates etc. I’ve purchases reusable items for replacements. The cost up front is a bit more, but you save in the long run and cut down on your trash…a win, win!

I haven’t had a chance to read all..but make your own cleaning products, shop clearances, thrift stores, garage sale, facebook marketplace or offer up before buying brand new. Use coupons. Use receipt apps to collect points and earn cash or gift cards. Do surveys or programs like this. Join a Freecycle or pay it forward fb group. You can give and get items for free. Do exchanges with your neighbors or friends. Trade work..cooking for babysitting etc. Email companies for coupons or join their emails lists. Meal plan. I use my credit card to pay bills, but make the payment right away. I have a few hundred dollars saved up on points to use for Christmas. DO research before buying big purchases. Visit the library for free books and to rent free dvds. Check out your local area for free or cheap events. Plant a garden or at least 2 or 3 of your favorite veggies. Repurpose items..old shirts can be used as cleaning rags, glass jars as food containers etc.

Coupons AND clerance
-
June 25, 2019 at 4:10 am #210569
I’m always saving money! Everything I want to buy (except groceries) I always look first in my local area using the “yard sale” type of apps. I usually find what I’m looking for. If I don’t find it, then I look on other websites and compare to Walmart ( if they have it). Looking online also helps you find things quickly because it will say what isle the item is on. For groceries I look at all the flyers (some have exclusive coupons not given in the store ad)& compare prices. Then plan my grocery trip making a circle to save time and gas, & I always make sure I go shopping during the week day if I can help it. It also saves more time and gas not getting stuck in San Diego traffic.

I have to say cutting coupons locating coupons on the different store websites and sometimes there are different stores that use the same coupons.
Unplug appliances that do not need to be on 24 hours a week
Choose Netflix and other programs compared to Cable or the other services or even watch clips on Youtube most are under $20 a month or free, -

I’m sure this has been said but coupon. After having my daughter couponing helped so much. Now it’s a way of life lol. If you have an instagram there are some amazing couponers willing to show you the ropes. Facebook has couponing groups as well as amazon promo code group. Swagbucks is awesome to help bring in a little money. Can also find the best swagbucks deals from couponers on Instagram. Always buy clearance. After Christmas I always go for the paper plates. Saves on the water bill. You can buy your meat in family size and divide it up. During the day I hardly have the lights on. Look at your power company peak hours to see when its cheapest to run the washer and dryer. Also join as many reward programs like at grocery stores. Some have it where you spend so much on groceries you save on gas. Join cashback websites like ebates and top cash. Hopefully this helps someone and sorry if I’m all over the place lol

We definitely don’t eat out anymore, and are saving a ton. We also save all of our aluminum cans we use and take them to the scrap yard twice a year for some extra cash. I always look at Unit Price when shopping instead of just the overall price of things. Ditched Cable/Netflix/Hulu and just pay for internet and have an Amazon’s Firestick. (Don’t pay for prime) with the right apps , you can watch anything you want for free.

So I will be starting a blog on this. I have been working very hard to save money so that we can get nice things for our home. First off look for coupons where you shop. Some sellers even offer coupons or promo codes for their products. Compare prices. Some third parties sell the same product for less. Signup for product reviewing. This is fun and gives you an excuse to have a sample/dinner party. Your friends get some products while you get the credit. Lol. I love my mom’s meet groups. This is a big one….go to DOLLAR TREE everything is a dollar. Buy concentrate you can get 5 bottles for a buck. That saves you almost $20. Those bottles and added water sure get expensive. Shop after season. You usually get the leftovers from the store and can use it next year. Find glitches! This can be tricky,but they do honor their price. Signup for emails from your favorite products! You will be informed when your product goes on sale or for special members only promotions. Join freebie groups! You can get almost anything and also add to your travel packs so that you won’t have to bring full size products on vacation.

I use thekrazycouponlady.com to help me find the best couponing deals. I buy all of our produce at a cheaper store, like Aldi’s. We use a monthly budget and communicate about how much we can spend in different categories. I also meal plan 6-7 meals for the next week so we are less likely to go out.
-
August 3, 2019 at 10:43 am #227823
I save by using digital and paper coupons. Also using apps that let you download your receipts for points that you can trade for gift cards or send you a check.
-
August 3, 2019 at 11:26 am #227854
White Vinegar – Does it all! I’m all about using this in my dishwasher (spotless results when placed in the spot for add’l treatments), softner in the laundry, all-purpose cleaner in a spray bottle (you can add essential oil if you want fragrance or added anti-bacterial benefits from tea tree oil), and deodorizer (especially if anyone has fragrance sensitivities in your home).
Coupons!!!! – Sign up for your favorite brands’ newsletters and be brand ambassadors for them. Fill out those surveys they send because often you’ll receive a great coupon. Organic brands are great at this even the pet food brands.
Accept hand-me-downs – I have friends and cousins who have moved or have the money to buy a lot of new things. They often are giving away clothes, shoes, lamps, furniture. Don’t be proud! Reuse instead of buying new.
Facebook Marketplace – Love this! I often buy great furniture on this. Mid-century furniture is made solid and with great wood. If it’s a little worn, buy some chalk paint at Joann’s, polyacrylic at Lowe’s and voila! You’ll have beautiful furniture for your children’s or guest rooms. -
August 3, 2019 at 11:33 am #227861

I recently began using different rebate apps for my groceries. My favorite is Ibotta. I shop only for myself and in 5 months, I’ve save $300 on this app! I highly recommend it! Use this code when signing up ojiyyeu and let the savings begin! I also subscribe to Krazy Koupon Lady and this finds the best deals every week. Happy Shopping!
-
August 3, 2019 at 1:32 pm #227930
I like using coupons for one thing. I also buy clothes, shoes, etc. when they are on sale, never buy at full price, unless you absolutely have to. I also do survey sites which I cash in my points for getting gift cards to restaurants.
-
August 3, 2019 at 1:43 pm #227936
I use soap nuts to wash our clothes, wash on tap cold cycle and then hang outside to dry. I sat down and did the math one time and found that drying out clothes outside saves between $600-700 per year since in CA our electricity is expensive. I cut my hair and the kid’s hair. We don’t buy anything unless we really need it and rarely eat out. I always bring reusable water bottles anywhere we go so we don’t need to buy water. Our kids are young so I buy their clothes and toys mostly secondhand from the kids resell clothing stores near us. We also have raised beds where I grow a lot of our veggies and herbs. Oh, and I take advantage of the library summer reading program here which gives you coupons for restaurants as well as museums, so that helps to keep us entertained in the summer.

Please white vinegar is so good in removing rust areas all you have to do is get a container put the vinegar and get some aluminum foil the cheapest one, and put the foil into the container and all yo have to do is scrap the foil with the vinegar and rust is gone, i did it and it works, also i’m cleaning my furniture with a mist half water and vinegar and i cleans perfect, of course my furniture is made of wood, i also use a lot of coupons, but i’m not going to make my own laundry detergent or soap

I love the make at home ideas, from lunches to soap, great reminders!. Also reusable things, like Tupperware instead of Ziploc, dishrags instead of paper towels, help with cost and help reduce waste. I have also done like some have mentioned and learned what skills I could to help with costs, my 2 teen sons and I recently learned how to change brake fluid and bleed brakes because the service shop wanted over $200 to do it! New skill, saved money.

I like all the ideas here as well. I try to stay home to eat and like to stock up when things are on sale. When I make spaghetti~I make extra to freeze some for a quick meal later. I use online and paper coupons and match them up with the sales to save even more!

We try not to order food home, rarely go to the cafe (in addition, we have quarantine), children like to do home soap and other things.
We don’t buy a lot of unnecessary things, for example, from children two pairs of shoes for each season, and if they want a new one, we sell the old one or give it to others. The same with clothes.
We buy all the right food once a week, and that’s a great way to save money. We also try to use discounts and coupons. -
November 11, 2020 at 8:10 am #384057
These are all such great ideas! I am learning so much here. I as well make my own laundry soap and fabric softener. I also garden and put up our produce, meats, and beans by canning them up for the winter 🙂
