1) Eat at home- enjoy making a meal at home together, add in a cheap bottle of wine ( try to find the best bottle you can for under $10)
2) Walk - try walking to do your errands, visit friends, do your shopping- great excercise and you'll save money on gas!- or try taking your local transportation
3) Before you do your weekend grocery shopping, try visiting this website first http://www.coupons.com/
4) Having the Saturday morning shopping itch? Skip the boring mall, check your local paper for yard sales! Try for ones that are in your neighborhood and walk to them!You can find great stuff for cheap by buying other people's cast offs - Craigs list often posts yard sales as well with desciriptions and pics of what is being sold.
5) Going to see a movie this weekend? Try going to the matinee- often a couple bucks cheaper than the prime times
6) Find the two for ones - my fav. smoothie place, Xtreme Juice, does 2 for 1 smoothies on Sunday, does your fav. place do something like that?
7) Find a fresh market- for my Tampa peeps, Ybor has a great fresh market- the veggies and fruits are about 20% cheaper than store bought, and it supports your local farmers
8) Find a free wine tasting
9) Bill paying time on Sunday? Try the automatic online bill paying- saves you money in stamps, everything gets paid on time ( good to build your credit ), and saves you time. While you are at it, sign up to have all of your mail done Paperless via online delivery- helps the enviroment!
10) Have fun!
