10 Things I do to save $

1. I try to ONLY buy sale items
2. I use coupons and use them in conjunction with sales so that i save the most amount of money
3. I make almost everything from scratch, with the occasional box of mac and cheese or cake mix but mostly i make it all
4. I give away toys to friends and family who are in need when i feel like we have too many
5. I budget every month
6. I do not often buy my kids things during trips to target- instead they r allowed to carry one item around, play with it and then nicely ask the cashier to return it to the toy section
7. I make some of my own cleaners... but im a sucker for METHOD brand, they just smell so good.. enough to get me excited about cleaning - for a short while
8. I buy my kids clothes 1 season ahead off the clearance racks from the previous season
9. I have my own veggie garden, good for easy things like tomatoes, herbs, peas, lavendar, onions, chives etc
10. AVOID the stores lol
