Once you get through sorting, it’s time for giving away (or selling) and storing. The other thing you can do once you’ve finished the whole process is have a garage sale! If you don’t have shoe boxes laying around, Amazon has some easy storage solutions as well that are much more in my budget!

However, I wait until spring and summer to buy decorations – and get them at garage sales. That should give me enough time to figure out what kind of camera I really need! I always shop for Christmas wrapping paper, gift tags, boxes and really nice ornaments the week after Christmas. Winter clothes. Cosmetics and jewelry.

Making sure your child has everything he or she needs to excel at game time can drain your budget. Secondhand gear should work just fine and will give your child an opportunity to try the sport out before you invest a lot of money. Sports equipment can get pricey. If you want to set your child up for success, what else can you do?

Involve Your Child in Planning and Budgeting. If you believe in using allowances as part of personal finance training, letting your child take on more and more financial responsibility with an increasing allowance can help them be prepared to make good budgeting and spending decisions when they are on their own.

It’s always a challenge to find the balance between wanting to give your child the most amazing birthday ever and working with your realistic budget. And this year, our budget was lower than ever. If you’re planning a Star Wars party for your child, hopefully this post will give you some money-saving ideas!

Women especially need to give themselves permission to negotiate, be exposed to those doing negotiations and practice negotiation. Although our citizens don’t practice the very visible haggling over every item for sale that I saw on that Mexican vacation, I believe we are seeing a trend toward more price negotiation in the U.S.A.

They kind of look like the ones for sale at Curious Country Creations. Plan ahead and hit garage sales, but especially estate sales. You can pick up beautiful decorations, wreaths, linens, trees and more at these sales. Our tradition was to stretch out the gift giving and opening. These make nice gifts too.

We use the eggs, harvest meat & if I can’t get out to hunt venison we’ve had friends give us meat. My kids both have chronic medical issues that are costly & require much budgeting. The hardest-it gets really old being on a tight budget sometimes, even looking at the end game or the why.

Shop around at garage sales, thrift stores and online classifieds for furniture and other household items. Ask around, see if someone you know may have an extra of something they’re not using and don’t need so they’d be happy to give it to you. You can end up well ahead in the long run. Eat out less.

One of the moves we made, out to Seattle, the only way we could make our budget work AND have me be home with our young kids, was to not own a vehicle at all. I’m not – I’m more of a spender, and struggled with budgeting as a young adult. Hosting garage sales & reselling items. We lived for 2.5

But there is no way you are going to give up cable, the cell phone, eating out or your gym membership. What is the one thing you are refusing to give up that would help you pay off your debt? You go weekend e-baying, garage-saling or to the flea markets. You have no budget. Try a simple budget. If so, why?

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.
