The Road to Home

With the HUGE success of the Backwards WFMW a few weeks ago, I have decided to squeeze one more week out of my topic! I got so many tips, tricks, recipes and websites that I thought I would share all of them with you guys!

Here is what y’all had to say:

• Use Cash instead of Debit or Credit.
• Cut out the Starbucks and Quickie-Mart drinks. Those are real money wasters.
• Even if you clip coupons, make sure that the store brands aren’t cheaper.
• Shop at stores that will double (or even triple) your coupons.
• Learn CVS and Walgreen’s. There are ways to get brand name products at very cheap (cheaper than store brands) prices. Sometimes, you can even MAKE money on these deals.
• Get a subscription (or borrow a neighbors’ or go to the library) to the daily newspaper. You can find all kinds of free and cheap activities to do.
• Cook at home and eat at home as much as you can.
• One reader suggested this: “Pork butt–cook in the crockpot until it shreds easily then use it to make burritos, sandwiches, pasta…pork is cheap and versatile.”

Websites you all love:

• http://www.hillbillyhousewife.com
• http://www.hotcouponworld.com
• http://www.afullcup.com

So, I hope that some of these things are going to work for me! If you have any advice, let me know. I’ll add you to the list! Head on over to Rocks in My Dryer to share your tips and tricks. Perhaps you will find something that will work for you!
