Gas alone is killing my family budget, as is the price of groceries. There are ways to save money just by doing a few things around your home and by utilizing resources around you.

  • Setting your thermostat to 78 in summer and 68 in winter.
  • Use the library to borrow books and movies instead of buying them or renting them.
  • Turn the thermostat on your water heater down a degree or two.
  • Wash in cold water.
  • Shop after holiday sales and stock up for next year.
  • Use coupons whenever you can. There are many coupon sites available. A few of them are: www.Coupons.com, www.TheGroceryGame.com, www.atozdeals.com .
  • Eat at home. Bag your lunch. Bring coffee from home. Stop eating out.
  • Match coupons to the sale items in your weekly grocery circular.

Donate Coupons To Military Families

I just found the coolest program. Did you know that you can clip coupons and send them to military coupons.jpg Coupons image by katrablacfamilies overseas? They can use expired coupons for up to six months. You can contribute as an individual or a group. What a great project for girl/boy scouts!

Simply clip the coupons from your local paper, sort them into categories of ‘food’ and ‘non-food’, add up the value of the coupons, put them in baggies and label and ship them to the bases. These families will appreciate the assistance in trying to save money grocery shopping.

Go to the Overseas Coupon Program at www.ocpnet.org to find out the details and method of shipping.
