I seriously need to start saving and seeing my savings like now. I have student loans to pay and a car loan I want to be free off.I’m starting off with my cell phone. I payed the cancellation fee on my cell and went with Straight Talk, a prepaid provider.$45 every month for unlimited service and no surprise bills,oh,you don’t get bills,you are responsible for filling up your minutes. I also called all my CC companies and requested they lower my APR.

I have found that one of the best things to do when tempted to spend money anywhere and for anything is to think of it as gambling. You have a certain amount already in your account. Sure, you want that item, but are you really willing to gamble losing your bank over the item? Is it really that important? DO YOU REALLY NEED IT! If an answer is no, than the lust for it will go away soon. Also get out of the habit of going to stores. The more you stay, the more you will find something that looks interesting to buy even when you know you don’t have the money for it. Be content with what you have and don’t gamble on your, or your family’s, future.

ok, so I’ve just started getting really serious about saving. I flex my medical and child care from work…..So you have to pay those expenses before your can request reimbursement. When that check arrives in my mail box, half of it goes straight to a saving account, and 40% of the remainder goes to my daughter’s savings, and the rest gets applied toward future child care/ medical expenses.
We also plan menus and stick to them religiously. When I plan, I do a month at a time. I plan leftover meals and I leave three days open for “free meals”–eating over a friend/family member/community event. Since it’s just my daughter and myself, I always take last night’s leftovers for lunch the next day at work.
ALso, I never eat breakfast at home–everyone at work contributes $5/mth to the coffee fund–I eat toast at work each morning.
My mom and I buy giant meat bundles from the local butcher and spilt them between our homes–$200 worth of meat in my house lasts almost a year!!

En,
Good point – I agree. What I meant to say was buy it from the grocery store rather than going out to eat every night. But I am with you, bulk meat like you suggested and growing your own food is even better…

I’d have to disagree on #1. buying meat in bulk from a local farmer is healthier( if grass fed) and cheaper regardless. Also, stocking up on fruit and veggies in season from local farms and stands and feeding or canning is by far cheaper than buying from the store. Plus it helps ur local economy directly.
