Cook at home using fresh ingredients – home-cooked food is generally healthier, more nutritious, less fattening and uses less energy. Sell or give away anything you no longer want; shop at second-hand stores and save lots of money; find another use for empty containers, old clothes etc.

We shopped at garage sales, turned down the heat, combined errands to use less gas, didn’t buy a lot of prepared food, cooked at home and the like. Peggy : Something really cool being done today is that the stay-at-home Moms trade babysitting days so they can get some time off and give the kids a play day.

Simply doing a budget. And I cut back on lifestyle – cooking food at home, taking the bus to work vs driving and paying for parking, etc. Stop eating out – it’s so much better for your wallet and your waistline to cook at home. Definitely a monthly budget – I always create one every month.
