I know saving $1.00 at Mc Donald's by bringing my own Coke/Tea doesn't seem like alot. It almost seems silly.
But what if I find find 10 things that save me $1.00? Thats $10.00. How about finding ten ways to save $10.00? Cutting back on things I hardly notice quickly adds up to $100.00 in savings/earnings! Would an extra $100.00 a month help?
We cut our cable bill by buying our own router and modem. This brings our basic Cox Cable bill to $33.00 a month. So we save $25.00 a month and still enjoy Wi fi.
We watch antenna t.v. with free channels for news, classic movies, and on Saturday night PBS channel 8 has the Lawrence Welk show our 11 month old granddaughter Addy loves. Can't scrimp on that!
Got rid of our land line saving us $10.00 a month. We have our cell phones. It was time for our upgrades so got our Apple 5 C's for free!
For our anniversary our generous children gave us a reverse osmosis water filter saving us another $30.00 a month and our backs in hauling bottles of water from the store.
Extras that we don't even miss have saved us $65.00 a month!
The latest thing I've been experimenting with to save/find money is buying in bulk! I bought shampoo by the half gallon. I put shampo in little squeeze bottles which makes your shampoo last longer and less waste down the drain.
At Walmart I found the Ajax Lemon Dish Detergent in a large 90 ounce size which saves me. I put that in a small dispencer which cuts down on waste.
Was very excited at Safeway to find Safeway Home Free and Clear Liquid Laundry Detergent that washes 96 loads on sale for $9.99 and if you bought 3 you got $6.00 off. Cha Ching!
Costco sells bulk 13.5 size Arm and Hammer Baking Soda which I use for baking and to whiten each load of laundry.

Also Costco has large bottles of white vinegar which is amazing as a natural fabric softener with no fragrance.
I buy paper towels, Jergens hand soap, foil, parchment paper, zip lock bags at the Dollar Store. Have been buying toilet paper at the Dollar Tree and 175 count box of tissue. But will have my husband crunch the numbers and compare which is more of a bargain Dollar Tree or Costco in bulk? Will let you know;)
Buying in bulk has saved me money each month!
By tweaking our budget and buying in bulk we've been able to pay off two credit cards! Debt that we've been carrying many years!
What little things have you done to tweak your budget and save/find money?
