What's your favorite money saving tip?

I'm always on the look out for ways to save money.  Anyone have any good tips?  I'll share some of mine:

Breastfeeding

Cloth Diapers

No Cable

Cooking at home

Homemade Baby food (we aren't here yet but I'm planning on it)

Homemade Laundry Soap

Shampoo Free

Vinegar for fabric softener

Vinegar instead of Jet Dry

  • I thought of another good one!

    Make your own foam soap- empty foam soap dispenser, 1TB regular soap, fill rest of the way with warm water, shake, and use

  • Homemade cleaning supplies

    Growing our own veggies

    Making our own handsoap 

    Using cloth napkins and paper towels 

  • Does vinegar really work for jet dry??  I haven't heard of that one!  Thanks!

  • Packing lunches for sure.  We used to spend a fortune on bad-for-you food for lunch. 
  • In addition to those mentioned above:

    * using the library for books and movies

    * growing herbs and veggies and composting

    * dry clothes half in washing machine then air dry (prevents them from being hard and wrinkly but saves 1/2 the energy) 

     

  • Walking for excercise. If I take the dog with me and the kiddo in the stroller then there's no health club membership, no babysitter (health club won't sit babes under 6 months) and no dog walker required.
