Thank you Rosey!
Tips
for getting the most from your hard earned dollars!
From
Buy
clothing and shoes off season!
I save up to 90% on our clothing and shoes buying off season. That
means purchasing what we need (or want) at the end of the season and
putting it away for the following year. Styles (even designer brands)
do not change that drastically from year to year. Buy a size larger
for your children. Even if they grow quickly and grow over the size
you haven't invested that much money in the item to get upset over
it. I'm certain you will be able to sell that brand new with tags
item at a yard sale or to a friend who will be thrilled to obtain
that item for their child at such a great price. Some stores like
Kohl's
will accept your returns even
up to a year or more old as long as they still have the tags attached
and you have your receipt.
Get rid
of that expensive fancy cell phone plan!
You are throwing away your hard earned money each month paying for
that fancy cell phone plan. I dumped ours years ago because we were
paying for minutes that we never used. If you are a big cell phone
user then I guess it is worth having the fancy phone and expensive
plan but I save a bundle each year using a pay as you go plan like
Tracfone,
Net10
or Straight
Talk!
It cost me about $110.00 per year per cell phone to have cell phone
coverage with the latest phone. Tracfone
now has a triple minute plan that you can buy and each time you renew
your yearly plan you will receive triple minutes. Check out all the
many options and plans available at Tracfone,
Net10
or Straight
Talk! You'd
be very surprised what you can get with a pay as you go plan.
Start a
veggie garden! Get together
with some friends/neighbors and see if they can grow something
different so that you can all share in the bounty. We grow tomatoes,
cucumbers, squash, melons and lots of herbs each year. Even if you
only have the room to grow herbs in pots on your windowsill then do
so. Check out the vast selection of seeds and instructional videos
that Burpee
has to offer on their website. It's free and a wonderful resource
for great deals on seeds and information.
Don't
purchase items you really don't need.
Make a list and stick to it when you go food shopping. Think twice
before purchasing those pink shoes – exactly how many times will
you wear pink shoes? Weigh the cost of a repairs vs. new - you would
be surprised how much more life you can get out of that washer with a
simple repair. If you are handy there is a wealth of information on
the internet on how to do your own repairs. If the project looks too
overwhelming then don't tackle it, call a professional but be sure to
get an estimate before he starts the work. Don't trust any of the
local professionals? – Join Angie's
List it's well worth the small fee you have to pay each year to
get the valuable information on her list. My
blog followers
are thrilled with their memberships to Angie's
List for peace of mind in knowing that no one can pay to be on
Angie's List
but they have to earn their
reputation on the list with A+ ratings from people like you and I.
My journey as Rosey The Coupon Coach started over 25 years ago when I needed to find a way to help the families that were associated with my charities stretch their limited weekly income.
Since that time I have perfected a technique that helps me save over $10,000.00 a year on my spending. This affords me the opportunity to donate what I save to local charitable organizations in the form of groceries, clothing, health and beauty items, toys, shoes, gift cards, and much more.
