I routinely cut my husband's hair, and that saves us about $15 a month....at least. Plus, it is more efficient in terms of his time, giving him more time to focus on his career. Cooking at home saves us the most money by far. I can't believe how much restaurants can charge for pasta and Mexican food; I can make it at home for a fraction of the price. This summer my goal is to plant a garden and try to reduce our produce expenses. Great tips! I routinely cut my husband’s hair, and that saves us about $15 a month….at least.
