Saving Everyday

My son has been doing this for about a year now and averages a few hundred dollars a week. Pack your lunch, and focus on inexpensive meals like sandwiches and leftovers.

Donate items : Since my son is an only child, his clothing doesn’t get a lot of heavy use. We usually send him home with the leftovers. When you sit for someone else, that’s money that doesn’t have to go to the sitter — and might be used to pay utility bills.

Glass leftover containers 3 for $.75. I don’t like to use plastic bags or throwaway containers for my leftovers – glass seems much cleaner.
