4 Great Sites With Practical Ways to Save Money
Posted in Big & Little Ways To Save Money | 2 Comments »The housing market is down, the cost of food is up. Recession, depression, high debt – unsecured debt, credit card debt, tax debt, you-name-it-debt – is up, jobs are gone! Listening to the news can definitely be depressing these days! I make sure I balance it with a healthy dose of God’s Good News, complete with His promises of provision!
Over the years, I’ve learned that provision can come in many forms , depending on our particular needs at the moment. One means of provision that is readily available is all the great books and websites with creative and practical ways to save money as well as make extra money at home.
If you spend $3 on a dozen eggs and I spend $1 on a dozen eggs because I checked for sales that day, I’ve made an excellent “return on investment” (ROI), wouldn’t you say? The best part, I don’t have to pay any taxes on that $3 because it’s savings!
Here are four of my favorite resources to learn creative tips to save money on everything including eggs:
Cheapskate Monthly – Has written several books with plenty creative and practical ways to save money, as well as a great website with plenty more useful info.
Living on a Dime – I love her cookbooks. They have yummy money saver recipes for tiny budgets. Right now, if you sign up for a free subscription, she has a great free e-book for you as well.
Clark Howard - Another excellent resource with plenty of creative and practical ways to save money.
Refund Cents -There is a subscription cost for this one but I’ve always saved way more than the cost making it well worth it! They offer a print magazine OR an online-only option which is what I use. It’s well organized, well-run, and great! I was a member for years. Sometimes I use it a lot, sometimes a little, but it’s always a big help! Talk about excellent creative AND practical ways to save money ideas, it’s got thousands. It offers a list of all the coupons every week, and ways to match those coupons to sales at Walgreen’s, Rite-Aid, etc. to make even bigger savings. Plus they do offer a free email newsletter for anyone, even non-subscribers!
Well, time to go. I’ll find more for a future article, but these are great sites to get started on! Between them we can find plenty of great big and little ways to save money, not to mention creative ways to reduce or eliminate debt, and keep working towards our goal to live debt free!
