Auction Power Guide

I’m trying to save some money and lower my monthly bills. What are some good tips to do so? I keep the air very low. I keep lights off if not needed. I take quick showers. I buy groceries at Aldi. I drive slow to conserve gas. What else can I do? I have a lot of student and credit card debt and want to work my way out…

Make a plan see where your money is going to…cut out the extras.

Pay yourself first out of your paycheck. Then work on tackling those bills.

Thought about picking up a part-time job?
You could Ebay or sell items on Craig’s List. Maybe babysitting, garage sale, recycling. How about couponing?

The above is a great source for printable coupons. Next continue to buy Sunday’s paper for another source of manuf. coupons.

Some stores like Walgreens, Rite Aid, Target will take their store coupon and a manuf. coupon.

Know that sometimes you can buy groceries at the above store.

Get to know your grocery store coupon policies…do they double coupons? Buy groceries on sale with your coupons.

www.mycoupons.com Click on Shopping boards, Click on Tips of the Trade (TOT) you’ll find postings from women who spend very little out of pocket for groceries.

Sometimes you can go to the company of a product you want to purchase and see if there are printable coupons on that site.

The fees for selling on ebay suck sometimes. I once put some thing for sale for a dollar and free shipping.(just to see how it would turn out) and after the fees and everything i wound up owing them money!

what are some money saving tips?!

I never use the free shipping option – all that does is raise your final value, so you end up paying a higher fee! If you add your own small fee to actual shipping costs, you can offset the costs of packaging.

Also, the better you tailor your listings toward a specific set of buyers, the higher your bids will be.

Here are a couple of articles:
