turn the heat down when dh isn't home

line dry as much as I can year round

I freeze or trade our garden produce

I use an oldfashioned lawn mower that doesn't need oil or gas, just people power

Turn off everything that's not in use as much as possible

Rummaging in the summer for kids clothes & other misc items as it's not only an adventure but can be quite a savings over shopping thrift stores

I track when the stores mark down kids clothes & such. As I have found new clothes for my kids for under $1 new & frankly you can't find that @ thrift stores even.

use left overs for lunch or freeze them for a lunch a few weeks later

grow my own tomatos, zucchini & whatnot in our garden

buy marked down items @ the grocery stores

Shop @ Aldi's & buy almost everything there & whatcha can't buy you get @ the regular store

shop only the clearence racks UNLESS you absolutly need the item soon

Buy Generic

I don't have any add on's on our land line
