So I have noticed after watching a few shows and reading a few articles about being frugal. That I am not what those shows are like. I don’t reuse paper towels 10 times, I don’t use towels for toilet paper and I don’t eat random meat. I wanted to share with you my number #1 easy way to be frugal and how it helps my family save extra money each year. Also at the end I will give you some other ways that readers of this blog have told me about.
So here is my number way way I am frugal . It is simply don’t be brand loyal. Yes it is that simple and it can be a hard habit to break for some of you but once you get into you will see the money you save. Example for my family, we love Colgate toothpaste but not always when we need can I find a deal on that brand for free so instead of spending $3.00 on a tube of toothpaste since I am brand loyal I go find the best toothpaste deal for the week and spend between nothing and .50cents. So alone there is a savings of $2.75 on average. So the moral is don’t be a brand loyal, try new things you never know you might find a new favorite.
So remember when you are low on something at home check your local coupons and ads to see what brand you can get the cheapest for the week. To see the readers tips click this link. I was going to add to the bottom but I got so many good tips I made a separate post. Oh and once you start to get out of your habit of being brand loyal see how much money you can save in one month. You might be surprised with the number.
