There's some great tips out there, but they all boil down to spend less than you earn. Great. Thanks. Yes, I kinda got that. About as helpful as the old "lose weight? eat less than you burn" advice. At the end of the day what I need is ideas for how to do that. I know, it sounds silly, but when I'm looking at my work pants and seeing how shabby they are it's so very hard to think "spend less".
Yes, we can all save chunks of bar soap and stick them in a pair of stockings to save a bit of cash, but reality is that we won't do that. I like getting my sandwich fresh from the shop, I like my morning latte. But maybe, just maybe I can find an alternative that costs a little less.
This blog is NOT about preaching what you know, it's about how I learn to walk the walk. Oh and as for coupons, irrelevant. We don't have them here so you won't be hearing about them! I know I'll be up and down and I'll have good days and bad days, which is why I'm here - I hope that you can help me to keep on track and turn the good days into the habit!
Now, I need groceries so I'm off to the shop!
I use a website that allows for some of my addictions. while allowing me to spend. Its called swagbucks and i don't know if you're part of it but with this website i can buy things i cant normally get, because of my budget.
ReplyDeletei just use their search engine and get swagbucks then i use those to get amazon gift cards or paypal cards, then i use those. to date i would have $100 on amazon (if i saved them) don't get me wrong. it takes a bit of work to remember to search, and time, but to me its worth it. its how i support my tatting habit, and my game habits. so if your interested this is my referral link.
