Simple Solutions to Cutting Your Budget without Feeling It

Whether you’re trying to save for a vacation, your kids’ college tuition, home repairs, or just to have some extra money to play with it can be difficult to know where to cut the spending. Here, find some easy ideas to save a few dollars without noticing.

  • Auto Repairs – Before handing over hundreds to your local car dealer, look through the junkyard or ask a parts store (ex. NAPA and AutoZone) about re-built parts. Pre-owned parts are cheaper and work well!
  • Kid’s Clothing – Kids outgrow their clothing rather quickly. Get together with other parents and swap your kids’ clothing. You end up with new items completely free and its fun!
  • Internet Auctions – Why pay full price for anything when you can almost always find it cheaper on Ebay? Other auction sites include UBid and Bidz.
  • Matinees – Can’t wait to see Mission Impossible 3 or The Da Vinci Code? Do it during the day. Matinee movies are always a few dollars cheaper than evening movies.
  • Pack A Lunch – Eating out can cost you $5-$15 per day. Bringing your lunch can save you money and you’ll probably eat healthier as well!
