Stuehlmeyer Budget Cuts Save Green

Our budget is getting cut. We subject ourselves to this torture partly kicking & screaming and partly out of competition with ourselves. Here are our favorite ways to save money:
  • Eat the food in the cabinets (spent only $25/week on groceries for 4 weeks doing this! Who knew I had so much food in my house!)
  • I make my own foam hand soap (diluted liquid soap = Cheap!)
  • No eating out (we definitely kick & scream about this one)
  • Even Lizzie & Cooper participate - they get cheaper treats
  • Rent DVD's from the library, for FREE!!
  • No new stuff (I'm pretty shocked that Wal-mart is doing so well since Chad cut me off)
  • Chad cuts his own hair (and mostly does a better job than the people he was paying)
  • Use cash & not credit cards (studies show you spend 12-18% more when using a credit card)
What are your favorite ways to save??

    another way we get free movies (we do the library too!) is to use the coupon code from dealseekingmom.com for RedBox (mondays only!)

    we also do "coupon thursday" at shop n save :)

    AND, we're planning to make our own baby food for the new baby.
