Default Re: 101 Painless Saving Ideas

*If you have a vehicle that you don't drive alot or daily (like me I'm a sahm & I don't have much running to do usually) you can call your insurance agent & they can reduce your vehicle insurance by a few $
*cancel all the extras on your regular phone
*if you don't use your cell much buy a pre paid phone. $20 lasts me the 90 days, wich is cheaper than most contracts that would be $120-150 for a 90 day period
*reuse as much as you can around the house
*borrow things you only use once in awhile instead of buying, reduces clutter too (we borrow our neighbors tiller once a year to do our garden & that's the only time we use it)
*NEVER PAY FULL PRICE FOR ANYTHING!
*brown bag lunches for work or school
*try using half the recommended amount for some items like dryer sheets, softner, detergent ect
