how to save $1

Do you try to actively save money by cutting costs at home? I found a great article featuring 101 ways to save $1 a week. All of those dollars add up, and these things are free to try and set into motion. The article divides the 101 tips into the area of application, for example, around the house, on the road, food at home, dining out, buying clothing, recreation and leisure, and credit card spending…as well as a few other tips that didn’t fit into any one category.

We already do a lot of things to save money in our own home, but we could definitely improve. My kids make their lunches for school every day. Bread and peanut butter and jelly is a lot cheaper than a school lunch. I use the library instead of buying books, and we love the $2 movie theater. And those of you reading this blog know how I love a good sale on clothing or shoes!

One area I could improve on? Meal planning. All too often, we decide what to do for dinner an hour before dinner. If I did a little bit of planning and made better use of my leftovers, we could really make a dent in our grocery bill.
