I watch them more too. In fact I'm going to a Friday only sale at a local grocery store today. I shop in at least 3 different stores, because I know who has what cheaper. I use a lot of store brand stuff, instead of name brands. And I always check the sale ads before going in.
There are very few things I will not use the store brands.
But mac&cheese, I'll only use Kraft, tomato soup, I'll only eat Cambell's, but I will cook with the off brands.
So yes, when it comes to what I buy, I am cheap too. ohwell

If you have a few brand favorites check the lable for a web site. Lot of times you can find on line coupons.

Although I'm a broke kittie, I buy the brands I like and I'm used to. Mainly organic everything, for my son. It doesn't save money, but then again I'm on a diet so I don't eat that much anyhow.

if I eat cereal with a fork to save on milk?

Please list a money saving measure you take.

As for me I take note of sales more than I used to.


I wash out ZIPLOC baggies if I put chips, veggies or anything besides meat in them. I am proud to join the ranks of the "cheap" if that's the case. glasses

1) K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid)

2) NEVER take out loans

3) NEVER deal with banks, go with credit unions but ONLY if ABOSLUTELY necessary

4) Allocate your bill every payday BEFORE spending any

Those are just some I use.
