Just remember that the extra stuff costs you, too - in space, time (looking for things) and peace of mind. And eventually that can cost you in dollars as well - in buying more of what you can't find, alcohol and therapy! Thanks heaps for sharing. :-) M Hi Lois,

Just remember that the extra stuff costs you, too – in space, time (looking for things) and peace of mind.

And eventually that can cost you in dollars as well – in buying more of what you can’t find, alcohol and therapy!

Thanks heaps for sharing. :-)

I subscribe to many magazines (write columns for a few), and keep hard copies of the magazines with my articles. What a dusty mess was sitting in the corner of my office. Why was I keeping them? They even smelled old and moldy...so I heaved them away...making room for all my new articles coming up. Stopped my complimentary subscriptions too, as they were giving me guilt that I hadn't read all of them. Shop to a list is a hard one for me. And the worst place for me to do that is Costco. I have giant size vitamins (that will expire before I can take them), enough contact lens fluid for my entire buiding, and a humongous box of greeting cards filled with cards I won't ever use (like about 20 for children). I've decided not go to Costco, and buy smaller at other stores. Thank you so much for all your help Michelle! Your “cancel subscriptions” was a breakthrough one for me.

(You'll hate this one, Michele!) Cut out tea/coffee/snacks from the cafe. 2. Shop ONLY once a week, plan meals ahead. If you run out of something, you have to wait until shopping day to replenish it. Makes everyone (especially kids) a bit more frugal in their eating habits. 3. Don't throw away leftovers. Freeze them, make them into something else or have a "bit of everything" meal. And use the stuff at the back of the cupboards and the freezer! 4. Make double what you need and freeze the rest, cut into portions, for an easy meal later. Works especially well with things like quiche, lasagne, meatloaf, etc. When we looked over our budget, we found the quickest ways to save some money were:
