4 Tips for Saving Money

Posted by Karen

Wouldn’t it be worthe it to get a little help with your finances? Here are 4 easy tips to try.

1. COUPONS – These are not just for food!Check online, in the newspaper and in the mail and email boxes for money saving kroger coupons to utilize on your next computer, software, bookstore, office supply store or any store purchase. You may even come accross many coupons that can make it easier to have fun or head to the the fitness center, take your spouse out for a night and get your dog groomed – all with coupons. Just plan ahead and keep them in a drawer or specific container.  Trade with friends, family, colleagues, and co workers too.

2. INCENTIVES – Many credit cards, restaurants, movie theaters, stores and other places offer incentive programs. Find one or more that fit into your purchasing plans and start earning things like gas, points and rewards, cash back, discounts, free items, air travel miles and much more. Keep up with the times, too. If your kid is grownup, no need to keep your Toys-R-Us Visa and get back certificates for toys any more. Call the bank and see which other programs they have, ask your friends which ones they use, surf the web for new and exciting promotions- and switch.

3. ALTERNATIVES – Check out if there are different competitor products that are cheaper before you buy. Often there are competitor versions of the items you want and you may want to consider home remedies and local pharmacists to ask for different choices to over priced medications and treatments. Also many businesses will offer family deals like car insurance or family haircuts if you all get them dom at the same place.

4. ATTITUDE – Don’t dwell on what you “don’t have.” Instead, concentrate on what you “do have.” You can’t make apples from oranges so don’t waste time thinking about it; reuse and recycle what you can, hand things down to smaller kids and donate what you no longer need to someone who does. There is really no need to have new things all the time. Be happy with what you do have now and make it work for you! Head to the library for free help in thousands of books that can show you tricks on how to get exactly what you want.

So look before you leap to grab your wallet. Take a time out, plan ahead with free kroger coupons, incentive programs and alternative buying solutions. Make your paycheck stretch just a little bit farther and give yourself a raise!

If your interested I recently came accross a site that is offering $250 in Kroger coupons.  I suggest you check it out and then start making coupon hunting a fun family game.  Maybe give a reward to the family member that saves the family the most.
Enjoy!
