7 Money Saving Tips On A Budget

If you are on a budget and looking for ways to save extra cash, here are a few tips.

1. Eat breakfast at home instead of buying it on the way to work. Make your lunch and take it to work or school.

2. Swap soda for tap water at work and at home.

3. Eliminate trips to the vending machine during your breaks, Instead, bring a snack from home.

4. Declare an embargo on new toys. Wrap up some out-of-favor toys and put them away for a few months, then take them out of storage with much fanfare, and retire another set. Swap toys with friends.

5. To compare prices and save gas and time, shop online. Buy only what you're looking for, and don't forget to add in shipping charges when comparing prices.

6. Trade in your pricey car, with monthly payments you can't afford, for something reliable and reasonably priced.

7. If you are tempted to buy a new gadget or piece of clothing when shopping, go home and sleep on the decision.
