Don't Pay For Name Brand Products

I have done extensive research on the web concerning the topic of "Saving Money" or "Frugal Lifestyles." I was surprised to find a lot of helpful information but noticed that after about 50 articles or so, it all becomes a little generic. Yeah, SAVING MONEY IS WHAT WE ALL NEED TO DO but the question is "HOW." Turning off lights, adjusting thermostats, coupon cutting, these certainly have their place. The fact is, you could do all these things and fail to cut spending on monthly, weekly, even daily purchases and never really notice an abundance of money left in your pocket.

What if I told you there is a way to buy what you want or need and SAVE 80%.....getting TOP NAME BRANDS for rock-bottom wholesale prices....earning SERIOUS INCOME reselling these quality products or keeping them for yourself....and SAVING MONEY!!

Saving Money While Eating Better

Pack a lunch daily....No Mickey D's!
Packing luches everyday can save an average family about $45 dollars per week or around $2,340 a year. This study was also based on a nutritious balance of fruit, whole grains, and yogurt. So, you won't only be saving money, you'll be saving on calories and fat.
All of your home cooked meals should be planned ahead, weekly.
Home cooking is great, and doing it shouldn't be a dreaded thought. One way is taking a couple hours on a weekend, prepare 3 main courses and 3 side items (vegetables, potatoes, rice, etc.) Place appropriate portions of food in microwavable containers to create separate meals. This in turn will last about 3 days. In the evenings instead of spending precious money on pizza delivery or chinese takeout, pop one of those containers in the microwave. This will leave you cooking only 2 or 3 times per week.
For road trips, plan ahead for your snacks and drinks.
Whenever you leave your house for an extended amount of time, pack a cooler of snacks and drinks. It saves an average of twenty to thirty dollars a week or $1,300 a year. This will save money and will save those you visit while on the road the burden of providing your food and drink. Preparing food with your own hands ensures that the food and beverage will be both fresh and clean.
Eating out needs to fit in your budget, not the other way around.
When you do go out to eat, plan ahead and budget for that expense. This will cause you to worry less and enjoy the meal more.Try to limit these occasions to once a month. A dinner for four could cost as much as it would to feed that same family for a week...

Frugal Is as Frugal Does

Everyday there are things we can do to be more frugal in these hard economic times. We need to be intentional about it asking ourselves where do we buy our groceries or should we make it a Blockbuster night? Here are a few things that we can do to to carve our budgets.
Buy items you use in bulk at Sam's or Costcos. Buy the largest package you can find, which gives you the most for your money.
Stop buying so many frozen foods. Some frozen foods make sense, like buying frozen bread dough. It is less expensive to buy three or four unbaked loaves of bread together, than to buy one pre-sliced loaf of bread. You can add variety with frozen bread dough by rolling it out, brushing with butter and sprinkling it with cinnamon-sugar.Roll it back up and bake. Presto, you have cinnamon bread. Throw in raisins or pecans to your taste.
Buy foods that are less convenient , and more "old faithful" items like dry beans, rice, fresh fruits and vegetables, meat, milk and butter (store brand.) Buy in bulk when possible. Just forget about the nicely packaged pre-made honey butter, mashed potatoes, or other prepared foods!
Eat out less frequent. If you just have to have Chili's rack of baby backs, get the meal as a take-out. That saves you from buying overpriced drinks, paying tips, and buying that dessert you didn't need.
rent it Instead of going to the movies, buying popcorn and expensive tickets, make it a Blockbuster night. The movie wont be brand new when you see it, but you will save a load of dough.
During these tough economic times, stay away from clothing that needs special care. Spend your money wisely on clothes that can be thrown in the washer and dryer.
Drive the automobiles less. This is hard but well worth a try. Combine trips, so you don't wasting valuable fuel. If your vehicle doesn't call for high-octane gas, it doesn't NEED it!. 87 Octane works great!. Also, if your community has it available, use public transportation.
Take the next 6 months and really focus on the things that YOU can do to cut back on needless spending. Have fun with all that extra money you"ll be saving!
