Pssst, do you want to save money without even trying? Do not go to stores or the mall! Take a list to the grocery store and only buy what is on the list.
Are you an online shopper like me? CLEAN OUT your email subscriptions.
When we moved, I did a vast amount of shopping online to set up our new house. Everything from bedroom furniture and a fireplace to kitchen dish towels and trash cans.
Daily my inbox has exciting sales. They scream TAKE 80% OFF; TWO FOR ONE; ACT NOW, LIMITED TIME OFFER. It is hard not to look at them and think "but it is such a good deal" maybe I should order it. The solution; I have unsubscribed to all vendors. If I need something in the future I am sure I can find them again.
A secondary benefit from cleanng out my email box. It takes AT LEAST 50% OFF the time it takes me to go through email in the morning - now that's true savings!

Nice to read your post on my blog (lifewithoutclots.blogspot.com), and have you as a "follower." However, the Watters Family photo blog that you are following won't get any updating (it is for east-coasters to track us), so it is probably best if you switch followings.
ReplyDeleteI started my "Life Without Clots" blog at redding.com back in Jan. '06 (my stroke was Mar. '02) when Kelly Brewer asked me if I wanted to do a blog (I was in Imaging). Since retiring from the RS, I have launched a LWC at both blogspot and wordpress, figuring it is about time to get away from redding.com (and earn money with click ads---like anybody bothers to click-grin). At this time, I dis-favor wordpress, but it has more features when I want to really get into it.
