I’ve tried to be a serious saver and there were times when I’ve been successful, and other times, not as much, such as these days with less income coming in and more members of the family to take care of. Many years ago, when I was on the fast track towards “wealth accumulation” through constant work and combined money preservation and investment strategies that I was able to execute freely, I had developed enviable saving habits. Things have changed since then.

Obviously my first suggestion is to always look for items online on sites such as eBay.  I have recently decided to start selling on eBay and they have added a wealth of tools that were not there when last I searched for items to purchase so yeah make sure to take advantage of that first.  But other there WHERE to spend your money I have some tips on WHAT to spend your money on.

1.) I don’t buy items that need dry cleaning.
2.) I use coupons... sometimes
       - Ok is it really worth it to spend hours going through coupons to save 25¢ off a frozen pizza?  In my opinion NO it's not, but there are some valuable coupons out there my best suggestion would be to check out the Entertainment brand coupon books if they are available in your area.
3.) I recycle as much as I can
4.) I buy in bulk where possible
5.) I buy when things are on sale

Well thats all I have to offer you you for now as far as ways to save money.  I know there are a million guides out there and articles all over the place that prob say the same things I just did but thanks for reading what I had to say!
