I was perusing the blogosphere for money saving blogs … I decided that it’s a good idea if we try and save a little money and try and pay things off, instead of just adding to the credit card debt (which is what I’ve been doing). I found a couple websites that sound awesome; “Money Saving Mom” and “Organizing Junkie” (and let’s not forget “Flylady” who doesn’t just give cleaning tips!) Mostly today I was looking for ways to save money at the grocery store. I use coupons, but I use them pretty sporadically simply because I have yet to figure out how to organize them so that they are easily accessible. I LOVE the idea that I found at “Out of the Overflow” which was using a binder/notebook (which looks EXACTLY like the one I bought a couple years ago) and having the coupons in trading card sheet protectors. She also included a calculator and scissors - SMART.
So, that’s one of two house-projects for this upcoming week. 1) Clip and organize coupons and 2) Make a daily routine for cleaning. (Hubby just cleared the dishes from the sick - WAHOO!)
Another money saver would be to stop buying expensive diet pills or scrapbook supplies (well, the diet pills I’ve been off for awhile, heh heh).
