Every Sunday, I will feature one easy, painless, money saving tip. 

Today's Tip: Always have a shopping list.  If you're like me (well the old me lol), you find yourself in the grocery store starting at one end and going up and down every aisle making sure you don't forget anything...and along the way discovering more items that you need/want/crave :)  Have a plan and stick to it to keep your shopping budget under control.

Today's Tip: Buy in bulk to save on items you use frequently.  Are you buying a candybar everyday from the vending machine at work?   Buy a box of them at your local discount store and save a few bucks.  Do you find yourself buying magazines every month at $4 a pop? Purchase a subscription and save up to 50% off the cover price, depending on the magazine.

Every Sunday, I will feature one easy, painless, money saving tip. 

Today's Tip: Be on the lookout for discounts on your staple items.  Stocking up on these items when you catch them on sale may seem like you are spending more money at that time, but in the long run you will save on items that you purchase frequently.  (Note: this doesn't work well with perishable items)
