Saving Money
It seems like everyone is trying to save money these days. I have always tried to save money because yes I am a cheap dutch woman but it seems of even more importance now that I am married and times are tough. We are not struggling by any means but we do want to be good stewards of our money. I have been employing tactics such as bulk grocery shopping, making things homemade, and searching the internet for tips. I have also taken to looking at magazines online that I see in the store. I love magazines but you can find the articles you like on the internet for free. I have been trying to find hobbies that are cheap or free (hence the blog :) I have a sister-in-law who is great at penny pinching so she has been a very good source of information and ideas. I love websites or articles that give you good ideas for DIY or money saving ideas so if any of you have good ones send them my way.

kelly, its not CHEAP, its FRUGAL! my tip o' the day, find a winco, that has been a great way to save money on groceries for our household.
ReplyDeleteOn that magazine idea...John & I take "dates" to Barnes & Noble where we spend a few hours reading books and magazines for free. Then we leave without buying anything. Cause sometimes it's nice to actually hold the magazine instead of reading it online :) Just another tip for you.
