I'm saving money in this economy by being more aware of sales and matching coupons to them.
We are trying to eat at home together more often. We were eating out far to often.
We are matching sales with coupons.

I save money by buying only what I need with a coupon on sale when at all possible. I have learned to cut back on using water, electricity, etc when not needed.

We are doing more family friendly things that are free like taking hikes.

We have started buying generic brands for some foods and they taste just the same as the higher priced items. I also use coupons alot more.
We're saving money by getting $1 rentals from redbox instead of going to the movie theater. Every little bit helps! Thanks. utgal2004[at]yahoo[dot]com

We've started looking carefully at sales and coupons, and planning our menu around what is on special. We're also getting some of our dry goods in bulk and saving a lot that way.
I look for sales and use coupon more often.
I don't buy anything unless it is on sale or I have a coupon.
My family has cut out eating out. We may do it once a month now. I have been only buying things that I know will make a good meal with some leftovers for later. Things like chilli, spaghetti, and things like that.

I am using my coupons more, I make sure to take them with me when ever I know I am going to a store and I too watch the sale papers and compare.
But even with that, I have tryed to cut down on buying and stretch things out.
Thanks for the contest :-)
I would love to win. We really are trying to cut corners at the grocery store. We try to buy all we can from local farmers and use lots of coupons with sales at the store.
Thank you for the chance

Great new design and thanks for the giveaway!

We are only buying items that we really need and using a coupon for almost everything we buy.

The most recent change we've made is trying to plan ahead our lunches for the week so that we have things on hand to pack and aren't tempted to eat out.

I am buying second hand stuff
We are saving money by eating out less and renting DVDs from the library instead of from Blockbuster.

Simply put, I am shopping less. I do not make those spur of the moment purchases that I don't really need.
We are using coupons and shopping sales.
Buying groceries in bulk and freezing what I can't use in the next week.

We've cut out eating out as much as possible. Instead were preparing fancier meals at home that end up costing about $7 compared to $35-$50 eating out. Also, I'm going to ALDI and picking up a few things at other stores that they don't carry. We can get a lot more for our money and don't go crazy shopping because there are less choices. Oh, and I have been clipping coupons a lot more too.
Wherever the kids need to be driven, I run the errands I can run that are near where they are to save gas. I use my crockpot a WHOLE lot more because then I can buy cheaper cuts of meat
My sister is a hair stylist so I get my haircut by her now instead of going to a salon. I also go for longs walks & exercise outside instead of a gym.

I'm saving money by shopping at more thrift stores, renting movies instead of going to the theater, and using more coupons.
I am walking more at our beach and cancelled my gym membership. I walk everyday and was not making it to the gym enough to make it worth my while.

We are actually cutting down our snacking and soda drinking. We are drinkings tons of more water and are eating less, which makes less trips to the store. We are also cutting down on impulse buys, which help a lot!

We renegotiated our cable bill.

I am saving money in these tough times by cooking every meal at home, elimanating impluse buys of sodas/snacks when out, consolidating my shopping trips, cutting coupons, shopping according to ads instead of desires....cutting every corner possible!
Look for coupons or other deals online and price shop before I go out to the stores if I know the particular item I need.
I added your button to my blog!
we rarely eat out now
I'm continuing to buy items that are energy efficient to try and save a few pennies on the power bill every month
We have been matching the coupons with sales and stocking up on things when they are dirt cheap. We have a great stockpile so if there aren't any sales, we don't have to go shopping that week!

im saving money by not spending on lotto tickets
I've become a coupon, sale, and other bargain detective. I hardly ever pay full price or shop on impulse any more.
I have been diligently keeping track about what I spend and no longer using my credit card to make small on-a-whim purchases.
I'm saving money right now by using coupons and shopping when items are on sale.
I also follow your blog.
I clip coupons and shop sales.

I hang up my clothes to dry. Not only does it save on electricity but it also helps the clothes to last longer.

Walking instead of driving
I've expanded the garden to include more vegetables and I've replaced some of the flowers with veggies. I love the flowers but it's nice that my hard work is resulting in more than just something lovely to look at.
We do a few things to save money. We clip coupons and match them with sales, cut down on going out to eat and try to walk when we can instead of driving.
I try and maximize the use of coupons for everything

I'm using more coupons and eating in more.
I have always used coupons, but now I'm using even more since the economy has gone down hill. I go out less, and I am a garage sale freak now! I am always at a garage sale trying to find the best bargains out there!!
I am saving money in this economy by shopping around for the best price on everything. Also I frequent thrift stores to see if an item I need can be bought second-hand. ssovnej at yahoo dot com
I'm being much more sensible about what I "need" vs. "want"...and avoiding the clothes department at Wal-Mart! :-)
Great giveaway for someone that loves music but cannot afford the napster subscription anymore so this is how I'd save money. :o)
We ride a motorcycle now whenever we can. It saves on gas. Making budget and sticking to it has helped also.
I use coupons, planb out our menu and grocery shopping carefully each week, adn always use leftovers, where as before we 'sometimes' used them. khaski78@hotmail.com
we have a great library with tons of resources - really trying to utilize those great free services more

I've tried to cut corners by eliminating unnecessary expenses (such as downgrading my cell phone, cable, and internet service plans) and rediscovering the world of discount clothing and grocery stores to save a bit more money each month. And, of course, coupon clipping is an extra failsafe plan to add a little cushion to my budget!
