i have saved lots by buying always save stuff instead of others or premade stuff. i have a propane oven so expense is minimal. an always save bag of cake mix here is 69 cents. its one third size bigger then most and all it takes is eggs and water, except the white. i make two round cakes and 12 cupcakes with one mix. thats desert for a week for at home and daves lunches at work. i make a yellow and a chocolate and switch back and forth and i let the kids decorate them all. they enjoy it. which i bought all the toppings at the dollar tree. big bottles too of one color and multicolors, a four pack with diff color dinosaurs and all. dollar tree would have to be my first choice, second is family dollar. i buy my tide coldwater there for 5 dollars. well except this week, i bought a 125 oz bottle on sale at walmart for 5.94. i use vinegar too in the rinse cycle, saved me 20 dollars already in one month. i saved 40 dollars this month on laundry alone. bought sponges, a bag of asst ones a dollar tree, used a shaker cup, put my liquid softener in there and used the sponges in the dryer, then put those in the dresser. and next week ill switch those out for a fresh one and then reuse the last one in the cup again.i use coldwater on my front loading washer and it saving 63 dollars is true too. i use the warm setting on wash only for whites and i use ammonia vs bleach and baking soda. cheaper and safer on clothes. i bought my front loader over a year ago and have not had to replace any clothing from washing. my old washer i had to replace stuff monthly. i hate the old agitators. lol
