Default Re: Saving money.

If you have an Aldi's near you, buy your pantry and frozen items there. I've added it up and it's usually literally HALF the price of name brand grocery stores.

Can you do cell phones only and eliminate a house landline phone? Some can and some can't for various reasons.

Use eBay and Craigslist. I bought and sold a LOT of baby gear (strollers, cribs, swings, etc) on Craigslist. Both are good places to get good quality baby clothes at cheap prices.

Plan meals and make menus a week or even a month in advance. It makes grocery shopping easier because you have a list, and it eliminates the "what's for dinner tonight" dilemma.

To cut down on dry cleaning expenses I started doing Bill's uniform shirts myself. I wash and iron them with the rest of the laundry, saving a LOT of money.
