Frugal Tips

[dodge__driver11]

Hi!

Well for me....

I buy my dishsoap, name brand cleaning products (Lysol etc) from dollarama I found Dawn dish stuff there for $1.25/bottle. I also found antibacterial Lysol wipes for $2.

I buy craft stuff if we are making an occasion craft from there. Really do not do day to day crafting anymore, it was taking way to much of my budget, and besides the kids didn't really seem to care.

I also buy some food stuff from there. Some. Often you will find discon't goldfish, motts applesauce, etc (always check exp. dates)

My local co-op store has a coupon app that we use. If that store has a 10 for 10 sale we will go and get some items that way, we also buy what's on sale, and will go to more than one store. The other day I got the weeks menu for $150.00, but that's cause I got some really good deals, and am not always brand loyal.

If a store has shampoo etc on sale, I will buy that item in bulk. I do the same for dishwasher, and laundry. You can sometimes find name brand shampoos and hairspray etc at dollar stores.

We are big groupon people. We can often find a night out for very cheap.

I am a big value village person for most of my sons clothing--I have found things for old navy, gap kids, etc, and you'd never know it was not new. I too, buy things a season behind (clearance) to find the best price.

We do not have cable tv. I garage sale, I trade...I had to learn to be frugal because my daycare is not full.

Hope that helps.
