- using coupons on your everyday shopping, you must know this already if you do then it is just a reminder. This days I don't buy anything without a coupon. And what ever the amount I save from coupons I still take it out of my debit card and deposit that in a savings account. Yes me... can you believe it I opened my 1st saving account.. not really opening since it is a benefit along side my checking acct. I am so thankful that I don't have the need to buy the Sunday news paper since everybody at work buys the news paper and we have a coupon drive ( a bin where everybody throws in there unwanted coupon) and every Monday I get to see what is there. Friends who knows me knows that I eat junk LOL which means most of the left over coupons are junk... Yey for me...
- buying no frills product... they are more improved than the new frills 10 years ago Thank God! Even Ibuprofen now taste and works the same (or maybe that is how one thinks and feels when they are broke LOL).
- the best part looking for bargains for vacation online... right now WDW is giving the free dining if you book by June 21st for 3 nights or more. Yes it does sound great... but I think this is beneficial for a family of 2 or more. IF you are traveling solo then you are paying regular room rates to get the free dining. Need to compare rates which is better... look for discounts like AAA, AP and pay for the room and just shop for food and also their is that avenue of renting points/timeshare week share.
- shed all unwanted expenses... don't rent a car (which I always do and next time I go when I go "sigh" I will def'ly learn the bus system thoroughly!)
- friends sometimes ask you what do you want for your bday, Xmas etc... don't hesitate to tell them what you prefer. I am sure not a lot of us know what to buy for gifts but instead hand them a gift card. In my opinion which you don't have to agree on... I prefer giving my friends "practical gift" cards like Starbucks(am working on giving this up but for now lets add to the practical list "guilty", Target, Walmart, Home Depot or for the grocery market near their area. Rather than buying them Red Lobsters and or any other restaurant chain. But then that is just me( plus I have missed so much occasion from my friends lives that all they have been getting are home made arts and crafts gifts and text messages... thank you for patience...).
- and last random thought for today... being broke gives you an excuse to go on a diet hahahaha
Have a good week!!!
