Family Balance Sheet
MAY 25, 2019
In March, I added $70 in $1 bills that I had been setting aside for the past year. Last year, a friend of mine on Facebook shared that she saves $1 bills that have Federal Reserve letters that match the first letter of her kids’ names. I added the check to our savings. I found our $100 in a variety of ways: We had a yard sale.

In April, we saved quite a bit of money by comparison shopping, and choosing thrift first. We found a guy who buys appliances from bank foreclosures and resells them. i can’t wait to see if there is a noticeable difference in our water and electric bills. April’s Thrift Store Finds. Total Savings: $300.

While I like to shop at thrift stores, I have a hard time finding TALL length jeans for my 5’10 frame and I was in need of new jeans. We decided to donate the turkey to the food bank. Yep, I found a $20 bill last year on the beach! I earned a free turkey from my regular grocery store, GIANT of PA.

Get Some Cash The day before the sale, you want to go to the bank and get some cash. You want to make sure that you have a number of small and large bills on hand for change. First, you can consider donating the items to a local shelter or thrift store. You also want to make sure that you can place the signs in certain areas.

You can have a great time and cool off on a hot day for a fraction of what a day at a water park would cost, just be reasonable about your water usage and don’t leave the hose running too long or you’ll get a surprisingly high water bill. Have a Potluck Party. The adults can socialize while the kids are playing. Frugal Date Nights.

Have a big box ready to take the throw-away items and another for anything that is good enough to go to the local thrift store. I further simplified my life by making some changes to my banking. All this meant that the only financial things I needed to do was pay the monthly bills as they came in. Do I need it? Be ruthless!
