So why am I listing these anyway? aside from the personal satisfaction of finding 100 simple daily ways to save, I know the more I read tips the more I use them..I first heard some of these in childhood, then I read many of them on
savingadvice.com and now I am putting them in one more place, the more you seee ways to save the more you think you can do one or more of them, and the more we do to save, the less we need debt, or occassionally the more we can help others.link to first 20

Course today I am starting off on the wrong foot with my totally unpolitically correct idea...
51. don't send your kids to school, not only will you save on school supplies, you will save on future therapy/education bills, take em to the library, talk to them, invite people over who use 'big words' and who know more than you on something..anything.
52.Learn to learn with them, and save on your own con ed classes.
53. eat halthier, save on future medical bills, start small, add a fruit or vegetable a day, work your way up to 5.
54. turn off the tv, save on electricity and on future medical/therapy/education bills (not saying all tv is bad, just most of it)
55. practice the word 'no' no you can't have that, no you can't go there, no I wont buy that. save millions of future therapy, and current impulse buys.
56. learn to 'window shop' teach your kids, stores are for seeing not buying!
57. borrow it! whatever it is, borrow first from a friend, before you buy, unless you would truly be a nuscance with borrowing you can prolly do without.
58. cultivate at least one skill ou can trade for the borrowing.
59. make what you have what you need..want a climbing vine? cultivate some weeds, find the root of a vine (make sure it isn't poison ivy first!) transplant it (wait for late fall early spring.,..I think)
60. take share and store digital pictures, not old fashioned ones...
61. accept others 'handmedowns' even if you don't need em, take em. use what you can, pass along the rest.
62. wash laundry when you have a full load
63. wash dishes when you have a full load
64. declutter, less stuff means less stress, which is better for the health.
65. store cookies in plastic not ziplocks..a ziplock wears out faster than plastic.....and I don't wash baggies!
