The spinning wheel doesn’t work really; I have to rotate the bowl with my hand, but I can’t complain considering the price. About half of my children’s clothing is bought used, and about 75% of my husband’s and my clothing is used. Do you buy used? If so, what are your favorite items to buy?

Many companies will run promotions that provide money off such as with discount codes for online shopping or free coupons sent by email. By cutting down on eating out or ordering in food and instead buy the ingredients to make the same meal, whilst it is more effort to cook, this will save you huge sums of money in the long run.

A lot of the things that you’ll be buying will only be in use for a matter of months so it makes little sense to buy everything brand new if you’re on a budget. Don’t look to buy used car seats though as you can’t be sure of their safety and whether they have previously been involved in an accident. Look for bargains.
