Default Re: best advice to save money?

Im sure this was mentioned many times...DONT EAT OUT. I am amazed at how quickly saving grew when we cut this one expense.

Use it till it dies...in this convenience driven, disposable society, this goes against the grain....Disposable costs money....convenience costs money...find ways to do it yourself and/or reuse....both will save you money!
example: paper plates: $2.79 for 45....my dishes...FREE, granma was tired of them when I got married and passed them to me....soap to was...less than a penny.

and finally, PAY YOURSELF FIRST....start small and build if you have to, but keep a little of everything you earn.
