And Even More Things I Do To Save Money

51. When my free soda stash runs out, I will be making sun tea every couple of days. It is cheap and good for you.

52. I shop $ stores for a lot of food, paper and cleaning items. They also have cheap giftbags and paper and freezer products.

53. I color my own hair with free haircolor(after coupon and rebate). I used to go get my haircut every 4 weeks but decided to do every 6 because Patty, my hairdresser kept remarking that it only needed a little trim at 4 weeks. This schedule saves me about $75. a year.

54. I wash clothing in cold water except for whites which I wash in warm. But DH and I don't get very dirty. We also try to wear our jeans and shorts at least twice before putting them in the laundry basket.

55. We keep all lights off except at night when you need them. And then we only turn them on in the rooms we are in.

56. I keep a pricebook so that I always know who has the cheapest price on most staple products. Just doing this saves a ton of money.

57. If I can't get cleaning products for Free or pennies, I make my own. It is so easy and so cheap.

58. Using cloth napkins is so much cheaper than buying paper ones. When my stash of free is gone, I am going to Goodwill to pick up some cloth ones. It is easy to throw them in the washign machine with= the regular laundry.

59. I read my library of frugal books alot. It keeps me focused and I get lots of ideas from them.

60. If you are quitting work, make sure you let your insurance company know that your car will only be used for pleasure. It is a lot cheaper than a car that drives to work.

61.Decide what is a priority and what is not. When my kids were at home, private schools were a priority. But other things weren't. A monitored security system is a must for me. For other people, it may not be.

62. I pay my monitoring on my security system one year in advance thereby saving me one months service($40.) I do the same with the bug service. I save about $30.(one months service) by paying a year in advance.

63. I have learned how to make all kinds of things by using the internet for recipes: baking powder, cleaners, laundry detergent, salad dressings, mayo, spice mixes, marinades,Boboli type pizza crusts ,hotdog and hamburg buns etc. Making these things saves a lot of money-escpecially making your own pizza.

64. I use this site all the time for lots of ideas. It has saved me so much money.

65. And now I have found this wonderful site for lots of money saving ideas.
