How to Save Money on a Tight Budget

Many of us are trying to find ways to save money, so I decided to share a few things I do to save money.

1. I match up the coupons with the store ads. Many times the stores know when the coupons are coming out. Sometimes its not smart to buy the items right then because many times the stores increase the prices when the coupons come out.

2. I quit using downy or any alternative for a few diffrent reasons. I’ve noticed that the downy is watered down and the price is almost the same price as a gallon of gas. I never thought I would be paying the same price for gas and downy. I now use 1/2 cup of vinegar in my downy ball and it works well. You don’t have to worry about having a vinegar smell and your clothes are still soft. I have used up to a whole cup of vinegar and still have no vinegar residue

3. I decide on my grocery list by what’s on sale in the store ads. Sometimes the prices aren’t sales so you have to watch out for this.

4. I use coupons for a lot of my purchases.

5. If I go to a store that’s suppose to have something on sale and they ran out I ask for a rain check. This also works great because you can find a coupon to go with the rain check.

6. Some stores you can use a manufactured coupon and a store coupon. You should check with the store.

7. CVS had a great program called extra care bucks where you use a red and white card that looks like a credit card. You can this and save a lot of money. You get extra care bucks when you purchase certain items. A couple of weeks ago I bought 5 bottles of dawn dish detergent for thirty some cents. You can also save a lot on toothpaste by matching the coupon up with the store ads.

Well, right now I can’t think of any other ways I save money. When I remember them all I will share them with you. So, Happy Saving Money…
