Making your money stretch has been an issue for many households in the current recession. An easy way to make it is to make your money work for you. But you have to work for it. As Benjamin Franklin said, "A penny saved is a penny earned."
I follow a couple of saving websites on twitter and monitor my local sales at grocery stores. Mommy Savers has great deals, tips and cooking ideas. I also check Retail Me Not before I buy anything online.
The end of the year is a good time to get some great deals, not only for Christmas next year. Buying Christmas decorations and clothes while on sale is a great Christmas money saver but you can also think ahead to other holidays. The boxed items for dad, like nose hair trimmers, hanker chiefs--usually the items you see for $5 at Target can be gifted for Father's Day or a birthday.
Gift lotions, soaps and body wash can be split up and given to teachers, babysitters and friends. Also for the guys, this would be a great Valentine's Day gift!
Think outside of the box when seeing items on sale and it will help you stay outside of your wallet!
Happy Saving!!
