Hi, New here!

[Max'sMommy]

Hi all!-

I am new to this site but not to saving money! We have been on both ends of the spectrum, from having more then enough in the bank to get the rug swept out from us and taking change to the grocery store to get as many meals as we could- and that sucked! We are now back on our feet again, building our savings, ect.

We cut costs whenever we can from food, bills, clothing, activities, household cut backs- ect. I love this site and in the two days since I found it have learned lots of great tips and saw that many do the same things we do!

I am 27 (just turned it) and married, have one sond 2 1/2 . Looking forward to "meeting" you all!

Well, in general, take advantage of every opportunity. If the milk is spoiled take it back. If the diapers leak, e-mail the company. If cable is too expensive cancel it or switch to satellite. If the coupons are there, clip them. If the survey company wants to pay you for your opinion, tell them your opinion. If you need . . .anything durable . . .buy it used. If another bank is giving higher interest join that bank. If you have stuff to sell on eBay, do it. If you think having a garage sale is just too much work, do it anyway or join a friend's. If you need to make a big purchase, research it. Need to know anything about money, stick around here BTW, many here will say the #1 thing is budget, budget, budget. This isn't my strong suit, but don't tell
