Frugal Tips

I would like to share some frugal/cheapskate (another word for frugal) suggestions.  I don't do all these, for instance, it will have to get really bad for us to use one vehicle only.  However, in some situations this may be something you can use  with your own family.  What works for you may not work for your neighbor or friend.  

• Own one car
• Try a Smaller Car
• Live in a Smaller House
• Rent instead of Buying a House
• Buy Used
• Eat Out Less
• Eat Out Frugally
• Take your Lunch to Work
• Have a Limited Wardrobe
• Do Not Buy Clothes That Have to be Dry Cleaned
• Don't Go Shopping For Recreation or Fun
• Cut Off The Cable
• Cut Off The Internet
• Carpool
• Sell Your Stuff
• DeClutter
• Stop Using Credit Cards
• Pay off Credit Cards
• Combine Errands
• Cancel Unnecessary Subscriptions
• Recycle
• Stop Impulse Online Buying

These are just a few ways you can save money and time, while creating extra time to spend with  family or for activities you enjoy.  I will be adding to the list in the days to come.  Remember, you may not be able to do all these, but maybe take one and try it.  You will be surprised what you can do and what you can save in doing so.
