Easiest tip I have is subscribe to a coupon cutting service.
ReplyDeleteI save money by using coupons when I grocery shop. I also buy only what is on sale that week and what is needed for meals. I can feed a family of four on thiry dollars a week very easily.
ReplyDeleteLWons@HotMail.com
I make a list and stick to it to avoid impulsive buys.
ReplyDeleteMy best frugal tip is that I do a lot of shopping online and before purchasing, I do a search on prices for that item and I also look to see if there is any coupon/discount codes available for the store.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much.

coupons are great but paying even a quarter for something you are going to toss is a money loss mrs.mommyyatgmail
ReplyDeleteI always look at websites that show the best online deals for certain items. I also use coupons and purchase things at yard sales.

ReplyDeleteMy frugal tip for men is to cut one's own hair with electric clippers, in lieu of paying money for a barber.
ReplyDeletexxbowietipxx@gmail.com
I use sites like Groupon or Living Social to get deals on things I know I will use, particularly kids things. We also have lots of birthday parties throughout the year, so I pick up discounted gifts on sites like Totsy and Zulily.

I clip coupons - from newspapers, magazines, online and USE them religiously. I make a list when going to the grocery store - check out the sales at all the local stores, match coupons and stick to the list. I usually average around a 30% savings from just doing that.

We switched to a primarily vegetarian diet. It has saved quite a bit on our grocery bills. We do occasionally eat meat, but will often go out for that. We have meatless menus that we rotate to keep things interesting.

I get everything on clearance and I can't resist a great deal, but I've found a great way to save money is to hold off on buying those great deals until you think for a minute if you really NEED the item. It's not a great deal unless it will be used.

I always use a grocery list, I always use coupons, and I always read the circulars online before I go. Sometimes I see items on clearance that are a better deal, so I cross some things off my list and get the clearance items instead. I save about $5000 each year just by being diligent and paying attention to what I am doing.
