Those gorgeous pair of skinny jeans that are on sale? Yes, but before you run out to buy them because they are on sale, ask yourself this “How many other pairs of jeans are in my closet?” Shop Sales. Cut coupons, go grocery shopping when your items are on sale, and you will save money.

You support the local economy when you shop locally, keeping your town, suburb or local area viable and productive. A strong local economy ensures the long-term viability of the area and attracts new residents. We also buy Canadian grown fruit when we grocery shop.

I chose this stone color, but it also comes in black (which is on sale for Black Friday). A footrest is always nice to have and you can bring your own with this foot hammock that hangs from the tray table, even when closed, and is padded, making your flight more luxurious, even in economy. 17.99 | non-cushion version $10.99

Don’t blame your spouse, the economy, your parents or your job. Send your spouse to do the grocery shopping. When you do need something, shop with a friend that won’t let you go overboard. You go weekend e-baying, garage-saling or to the flea markets. You know getting a second mortgage is a bad idea.

Teachers income in Texas actually starts pretty good ($44,000 when I started), but it doesn’t increase much and there aren’t any bonuses (some years it doesn’t even increase WITH inflation…one year we didn’t even get a raise due to the economy). Grocery shopping wisely – We shop at affordable stores, shop the ads/sales, and menu plan.
