I'm always looking for ways to save money.
Anyone have some great ideas that have helped you save money?:yell
 
I would say shopping at GS on sale days - but we all know that we just spend a lot there :)

Seriously, avoiding the use of disposable goods (paper plates, paper towels, zip lock bags, etc.) can save quite a bit of money.

Using a single-use product for cleaning saves time, space and funds.

Not using too much of products (such as shampoo!)

Turning things off (such as lights, computers) etc when you leave a room. Unplugging what items you can is even better.

Wearing clothes more than once before washing.

If you are an amazon prime member, then subscribing to items that you use frequently. Band together with family members - you can save as much as 20% on many items.

Check your credit / debit cards and make sure you have not subscribed to a service you no longer use.
 
What great ideas Lynnie! I would add that just not shopping really saves me money. My son doesn't like that too much since he really enjoys eating but....... Hahaha.
On a serious note, my other son and his wife use an app called Mint and that helps them stay on a budget. I think it is much like the old envelope system so when the "food out" envelope is empty then they have to figure out how to make dinner from the fridge. It has saved them lots.
