Great ways to SAVE!

Well ladies, things are pretty crazy 'out there' aren't they? Here are some savings tips we can *all* use right now!
-Think about 'brown bagging' your lunch for work-you'll not only save up to $10 per day (WHOA-that's $200 a month!) but you'll save CALORIES too! Yes, it takes a little time but you'll have a trimmer waistline and a FATTER wallet!
-Check out coupon websites online like coupon.com. You can get national brand coupons to print out and take with you to the grocery store!
-Write down EVERYTHING you spend on each week-you'll see just where it all goes and be able to save in small ways that really add up!
-Think about your weekly errands and save gas by doing them in groups. In other words, if you've got errands 'up North', do them all together instead of going back and forth a few times. Check out massachusettsgasprices.com for a rundown of where the 'cheapest' gas is located!

See you in class!

I don't use paper products(napkins, plates, cups) unless we are on vacation. That in one month is about $30.00 savings or more depending on how much you purchase per week -- bring coffee from home at 3.00 a cup that's 21.00 a week at just one cup a day. Also carry your grocery receipt with you so that you can shop at the store nearest your errands and buy what you need and you will know if it's more or less than the store you usually go to. It will help with the pricing to see if your getting a bargain or not especially when they store calls it a sale item. Shop with friends split gas costs. Think this - should i pay 4.00 a gallon to save the tax on what i want to buy --average it out first. Check prices on line before heading out. call the store to be sure the big item you want is in stock before wasting gas to find it's sold out and no rain checks are available.
