A person should always try to save back money when you don't have much, you have a larger family to care for, taxes to pay, groceries to purchase, and bills are always there...We have to always pay for things in life to thrive and live....
I NEVER waste money on stupid items that I don't need, you don't need too many things to get by in life, saving money by purchasing the off brand items is best if you can find them, don't waste money on outlandish clothing purchases....a person doesn't need to have 50 million pairs of clothes!....get rid of addictions and vices---that will save your life, and save money!
finding affordable shopping stores for all things is best when on a budget...shop off brands.
Shopping during sales when in store or looking for markdowns-saves money..
Garage sales--are good places to purchase many different items at lower cost...
Flea markets are also places to find lower cost items of all kinds
when you are given a paycheck from working, take it to the bank, cash it, and place some in an account for later, and keep some out for groceries/shopping, that week...Purchase ONLY what you need!......
I think everyone needs to have a Piggy Bank at home, they have all different types of these saving banks in many characters, color hues....they're old fashioned and fun!..save money by placing it into these small banks....you may wish for one that looks like a real pig too!...keep saving when you can!..hide it in your home...
Shopping at the Dollar Tree, other Dollar Stores, thrift stores for $1 items is fun, when on a budget, you can purchase yourself a few items that are just for you, laugh when you purchase them!..It is good to gift yourself something inexpensive and small when on a budget---or gift your children, family/friends items like this while on a budget!......that way, you at least have something to purchase and use at home or enjoy....
you can find most everything you need more affordable sometimes at the dollar tree/dollar stores, and shopping for groceries at the off brand grocery stores helps! Save a lot, Super Saver, ALDI grocery stores...may be more affordable while saving money....
I often like to enjoy a slush or a refreshment from a restaurant that is affordable, I like the Salted Margarita slush from Sonic (NO alcohol in this)...it is good this summer!...that is one way to enjoy something affordable for a few dollars.....
we just need to always save, make lists of bills/expenses to be paid monthly, total them up, and see how much you will need to pay for out of your paychecks every week...it can be costly and I know many individuals and families have a very difficult time surviving often with not many jobs available right now, and when you have a larger family you have to have ways to make it all work....
thrift stores, and inexpensive off brand items work best during these times for everyone.
