Keep on pinchin' those :cents: :cents: :cents: :cents: :cents:

Thanks!

great pointers, especially that first one. Choose your own frugal adventure based on what works in your family. Great tip. I'm not a diy soap gal, but I made and used sanitary pads and cut my own hair. There needs to be some joy in it, and challenge and that varies from person to person.

Great tips Shell thanks. I think I do most of that.

Great list, thanks Shell. And you are so right Margery with your comment~

Great article!

I tracked my money, made goals and budgeted for the first 4 months this year. Then I began to slack off. And then the progress I made began to slide as well. I am going back to those good habits again - especially now that I resigned from my well paying FT job and will be going toward a PT job w/o benefits.

Good reminders, thanks for posting it :)

Thanks!

Number Five: Put the money you save to good use. Don't let it just slip away. If you save twenty five cents on a package of ground beef or twenty five dollars on an insurance policy, it does you absolutely no good if you don't know where it went after that.

I like this one. I have a horrible problem with doing this, not knowing where all my "savings" go. :P

These are good reminders. I used to have long term financial goals but when dd and I moved my goal became just getting through the week. I need to sit back down and work on setting some new goals for myself. Thanks!

I find reading these articles help to keep me on track.
