Little Changes Reap Large Rewards

One huge part of saving money in a household is simply by enlisting the help of the whole family. If everyone is involved it can become a great bonding experience for the family unit. My family loves to go bargain hunting. My six year old can spot a yard sale sign from a half mile away. A great Saturday outing is going thrift store shopping. Even my teen daughter loves a bargain. She is thrilled by going to the Goodwill and finding a whole cart full of clothing for what her friends pay for one outfit at the mall. We do enjoy the mall but only for the people watching. LOL

We also try to recycle. I think that is a natural part of saving money. Why buy trash can liners for those small bathroom cans when you get tons of them every time you go grocery shopping? We also normally use cloths for cleaning instead of buying disposable anything. We use natural cleaning products such as vinegar for most cleaning jobs. Why poison the environment and waste money on toxic chemicals when vinegar, baking soda, and a little elbow grease will handle most cleaning jobs equally as well?
