Veggies in the Bag

At the end of dinner time if you have a spoonful of left over corn, beans, peas etc add them to a freezer bag. When you have enough make some vegetable soup.

Every time you put away your groceries, put the price you paid on the bottom of the product. That way you will always know the price you paid and I try to always beat that price. It's keeps me focused and I never forget prices.

Swap Your Media

PaperbackSwap.com is a great way to get rid of books you no longer want or
DVDS etc. You can list books, etc. on their website. You wrap and pay for
shipping of your book or DVD to a person who requests it, you receive a
credit for each one that you ship which in turn you can request a book or DVD
you want. You also get credit for referrals.

Buy Small / Save Big

Instead of buying in bulk, I use coupons on the smallest package available which lets me purchase the the item for the greatest discount.

Another option is to wait for the larger package to go on sale and use a
coupon to get it for even less.

In our area a store doubles coupons to equal $1 or less, which makes some
name brands cost only a few cents when they are on sale and I use the coupon.

More Free Stuff

Here's how I save money and time during the holidays

Why wait til Thanksgiving to see the ads—checkout the black friday lists on line. I really like BradsDeals.com. When you sign up they send the stores list as soon as available and you can also save your own customized list sorted by store and items which you can print at any time. They make it so much less confusing!

No More Bisquick!

I never buy baking mixes. Just Google recipes for bisquits or pancakes and you will see that it's just flour & leavening (baking powder or soda) and water or milk... maybe a pinch of salt. For pancakes you need an egg, otherwise that's it. You'll save a ton of cash learning to bake for yourself.

Childhood Cancer Family — Hospital Camping

childhood cancer, cancer recovery, hospital stay

As a former Childhood Cancer family—Thank God remission continues to hold—but... we are oh sooooo very BROKE!

Saving on food Meals for parents and family members visiting the hospital get really expensive with 3 meals and snacks each day.

One way we found to get around some of that expense is to bring in 2 totes with lids (cold and dry storage) and a bag of ice and use them to store food in your child's room.

Include your beverage of choice (off brand pop, gatorade, juice, etc) cold cereal,

Discounts at Closing Time

If you shop in smaller shops, bakeries or butcher stores you can be lucky
and get extreme discounts shortly before closing time or if you buy the
end-pieces of sausage or cheese.
