Many stores offer their consumers off brand store brands so that they can have high quality goods without paying brand name prices. You can save tons of money over the course of the year by buying off brands, especially when stores offer deals such as buy one get one or buy 10 for $10.

No kids = no money on candy = no candy wrappers in the landfill. We do put up decorations (ones I buy at garage sales or thrift stores and reuse each year). Buy one then sell, donate or exchange it. No kids = no parties or haunted houses = money saved. Tip # 2 Recycle/reuse costumes.

The stain went on fast and easy, but I had to wait for warm weather to apply the sealer because we wanted lacquer. Believe me, brush on lacquer is s-t-i-n-k-y!

You don’t need to spend a lot on clothing, so consider shopping at thrift stores, yard sales, and even buy/sell groups online. Try to avoid spending money on unnecessary items like a baby sling, wipe warmer, expensive baby food maker, excessive toys, a breast pump, and too much of anything. Wait to buy it.
