As a bonus, you get super healthy broth that is loaded with vitamins and calcium from the bones. So, that's less vitamins you need and free broth and a cheaper form of chicken than buying chicken breasts or whatever. (I actually have the whole process explained on my blog, but it's too long to give details in a comment!) I could definitely use the miserly tips b/c my husband to a low paying job to get into a new field and we don't have much breathing room!

I try to plan shopping errands for my commute time. Instead of a complete trip on my day off I can drive a block or two extra and shop on my way to work. I get off at midnight so I can stop for gas or groceries on the way home. Places are less crowded so my shopping is faster. My tip saves me both time and money.

Our financial situation has been putting a strain on mine and hubbys relationship. Hubby works over 65 hours a week and I want him to be able to stop working so much so.....I really NEED this book right now and any other help I can get.

You just keep adding more great stuff on here.... THANK YOU!! Frugal tip? Not new and groundbreaking but tried and true...LEAVE THE HUSBAND AND KIDS AT HOME, Do not shop when hungry and make a menu for the week (or two) and grocery list then only shop off that list. Okay, you are my frugal hero!

My best saving tip is to wait twelve hours before I make an "impulse" purchase of anything, even a pack of gum. Getting rid of impulse shopping cut my shopping in half! This is a great gift!

You can save tons by paying clearance prices rather than full price. I need to be frugal because we live on one income. Just this past year we went from 2 incomes to one and I definately have to be more creative. Always shop for clothing at the end of the season rather than the beginning.
