168 Ways to Stretch A Dollar
By DIY Maven
Lynnae at beingfrugal.net asked her readers ‘how they deal with high prices and what things they do to make their money stretch further.’ They came through in a big way! Lynnae categorized their tips, which include saving money...
- on groceries (e.g. use thegrocerygame)
- on cooking/eating (e.g. become a vegetarian)
- on cars/gas (e.g. stay home)
- on utilities (e.g. insulate your water pipes)
- on medical needs (e.g. ask your doctor to prescribe a generic)
- on clothing (e.g. hit the thrift stores)
- on various household tasks (e.g. use water from boiling eggs or pasta to water your plants)
- on entertainment (e.g. take advantage of ‘get in free’ days at the museum, etc.)
- on miscellaneous things (e.g. enter blog giveaways–including Curbly’s latest contest!)
Not all of the tips might be feasible, but they do give a reader something to think about! For the entire article, go to beingfrugal.net.
