Some ways to save money for all moms:
*Shop for clothing at thrift shops (especially for young kids). Look for gently worn or even new clothes for 1/10 the price of new (or less).
*Pay your bills online. It’s protected and you can save with stamps.
*Put your kids on the school bus rather than driving them to school.
*Slipcover or reupholster older furniture for a quick update rather than buying expensive new furniture.
*Refinish furniture and/or decorate with new paint. Use older and broken furniture to make a unique piece.
*Take your lunch to work every day! Make your meals in bulk and then freeze them in smaller containers to save even more money.
*Buy a bread maker to make your own bread. This is much cheaper than $2.00 a loaf, and tastes terrific!
*Shop for dented canned goods and outdated toiletries at salvage grocery stores.
*Read magazine subscriptions at the library or buy them at the thrift shop for .25 to .50 after someone else has read them.
*Stop drinking expensive sodas and make Kool-Aid or decaffeinated iced tea, instead.
*Cancel expensive telephone options like call waiting.
*Check out library books instead of buying expensive new titles.
*When you wash your hair every day don’t lather twice. Saves shampoo!
*Change your eating habits and avoid expensive, processed foods.
