8 Tips to be more frugal 

Who actually lives in their means? I would guess not many people. Those with credit card bills or those who do stuff before bills are suppose to be done. Not gonna lie, I have been there for before many many times. I haven’t had a credit card but I sure have done things before paying a bill. 

Then there is now. After moving just me and the boys I have really penny pinched every since cent. Paying bills first. Putting away everything for bills then if I have extra money then Doing something fun like getting the boys something or sending a gift to one of my boys that is living on their own, going to movies or planning a weekend get away to Lo’s house. 

I am trying to live in my means. That might be giving up a expensive bill like a car payment and just buy a car with cash. I am trying to be more frugal. Here are some ways that people can be more frugal and live more in their means. No matter what that is. Mind you I like to save money. I think my super power is to find great deals. 

1. Coupon. There are so many sites that you can even coupon online. Why not? If you save money you can use it somewhere else. Or even buy more stuff that you needed depending on what you want. 
2. Check your cell phone plan. Make sure it’s the best one for you or your family. They are always willing to help. 
3. Get Netflix or Hulu or even both. It’s cheaper than cable! And so many fun things to watch! 
4. Plan out meals. I have saved so much money by planning out meals. I live in a rural area . I need to make sure I have say ranch dressing or I am paying 6 dollars for it. 
5. If you know someone who cuts hair that is a friend. Have them do it. I cut my kids hair this week. And my friend trimmed mine. Money saved
6. Make sure you have a full load before you wash your clothes. Then make sure you put it in the dryer or a hanging dryer. I know I have once or twice ran the washer twice bec I forgot about it 
7. Don’t play the lotto. The odds are against you. I admit I have done it too but now don’t even ask for the ticket. Money wasted 
8. Look on Craigslist for furniture, baby items etc. You can find a lot of slightly used stuff that way. 

These are just a couple of things. There are many, many more. Tell me one thing that I could use to be more frugal. I would love to know!
