Great tips. Love me some yard sales honey. I filled up my minivan recently with clothing and books from a great yard sale day, spent less than $40.

The water thing will also help with weight loss. When we drink calories, our bodies don’t respond in the same way as when we eat calories. The “drunk” calories don’t satisfy our hunger, so we end up taking in more calories than we need.

Good points that almost anyone can use. You can also brain storm about how you can save money in your own situation. Keep an open mind and find out were you can plug the money holes in your life.

Well, I think the only think still left for me to give up is the 2 pops a day… and believe me, I’ve been trying :) I found a teabag will make a full quart of ‘flavored’ water – and that’s good enough for variety. Does anyone besides me still get TV only on rabbit ears? haha! (rarely watched) Yes, I know – I’ll need that converter box soon…

I’ve subscribed to the “Food not Lawns” theory, and by the time I am done putting in my raised veggie/flower beds, I think the lawn mower will be obsolete – the electric weedeater (free from the dump and a repair of the handle) will do the whole yard area. Transforming the old neglected yard has been good therapy, not to mention good exercise!

Are there people out there who REALLY spend $1000 year on their clothes? Wow!

I think the beverage thing is really true… I try to pop a refilled water bottle in the freezer to get it all icy and then when I am out I am not tempted to buy something quinch my thirst. Staying hydrated helps keep temptation to buy a soda or tea at bay…

I also freeze homemade ice tea in an old water bottle until it is slushy… it is really nice on a hot day…

Thanks for the coupons. The shutterfly 20% off coupon really came in handy today when I ordered pictures from my recent trip the Bahamas. I saved $1.90. Thanks, again.

I think it is interesting that so many people have gardeners, house cleaners and handymen. I suppose it is just the way I was raised, but it seems very weird to me to have someone else in my personal space like that. My parents always found time to clean/garden/fix whatever was necessary, so I do the same.

One thing I missed on the “Make Water Your Beverage of Choice” is the folks who drive-thru Starbucks on there way to work. $4 milkshakes…..errr, cups of coffee, add up real quick!

Hi Foxie. Good luck today! Yeah I think I will get the most satisfaction out of taking care of our lawn when my son is old enough to do it!!

I sure hope I get some satisfaction from mowing my own lawn, I’ve got no choice now since there isn’t anyone else around to do it and it’s on my to do list for today. :) (I’m probably the only 20 year old on the planet who has, to date, never mowed a lawn. Honest.)
