Habits Can Save You Money

(c) FlyLady

In our household only my husband has a steady job (ie, income) so we need to be frugal. I plan out our meals a head of time, make up shopping lists, and pretty well stick to the list. I budget for things we need and want. And, I try to make do with what we have, re-purpose items, and repair what can be repaired.  Any money I make from my part-time job or my artwork goes back into the family or gets us the little treats that make life worth living (books, art supplies, music).

In one of FlyLady's Morning Musings Marla Cilley wrote about how our Habits Can Save You Money. There are some obvious ideas such as "you save by paying your bills on time and not running up your credit cards", but have you considered that "if you did not spend $20 a week on more clutter then you would have saved $1040 a year."? Read Marla's essay. There are five (5) good, strong tips that will help you save money.
