Saving Money

The budget is tight and you need to save money now! A few simple changes to your daily activity and you can cut your spending right away.  The first place to start is by looking at what you need or were going to buy this week. 

More Month Than Money

Saving Money On Meals

Do you have lunches planned for the week? Do you usually eat out and grab coffee on the go? 

Grocery Shopping On A Tight Budget

It’s grocery shopping week and the budget is tight. First thing to do is make a list of what you need. Cross off anything special and you can get by without. 

Saving Money On Groceries

Then look at all the items, are there any on sale this week at the grocery store or ones you have coupons for? Can you go generic on a few items to save some money? 

Money Saving Grocery Tips

2. Make a grocery list, clip coupons and look for sale and generic items

Grocery shopping with a budget and a plan is a must.  You can save on average $10-$20 just by sticking to your list and not purchasing random items.

Meal planning has to be hands down one of the easiest ways to save money.  Knowing what’s for dinner before you get home.  Having all the right ingredients in the fridge. 

Learning to pack cheap healthy lunches can save you money.  If you have ever wondered about meal planning take a look at this meal plan. It is simple and easy to use.
