You may remember that I’m test driving what I think may be the most promising grocery money saving web site: The Grocery Game. The month trial for $1 did not motivate me to take any action and I decided that subscribing for two months for $10 was worth a shot.
I’ve been scouting financial RSS feeds the past week or so for the best money-saving tax tips for the smaller income folks like myself. Here are three that sound like they may help some:
When it comes to expensive things, I am doomed to hand-me-downs. I’ve never been the type to turn down, in particular, free furniture. The way I figure it, if I can’t afford to replace it, I should seize the moment when someone offers it to me. My parents, garage sales, discount stores, and the dump are a few of my favorite sources.
This is not to say that things remain in the same condition as when I got them. I usually have to do something to them to make them my own. I’ll take you through a few examples of furniture in my house.
I’ve been thinking a lot about scarves lately (for one reason, see the last paragraph).
I have about 10 scarves, mostly of the Pashmina variety and I wear them a lot with coats and even indoors. Today, I just noticed I have a stain on my shirt which a scarf thrown around my neck would cover completely. Darn!
Scarves have also been talked about on the blogosphere as functionable fashion and as a new celebrity trend. Personally, I think scarves Maces in Rockland, Maine has the cheapest pashmina scarves I have ever seen. They are $6 all of the time. I would like to think that there is no child labor or anything like that involved. Needless to say, I can’t afford to spend $50+ on a scarf that’ll probably get caught in my jacket at some point anyway.
I have 6 or 7 pashminas in cool colors that I can add to outfits for warmth and style. I’d love to give you the Mace’s link but they don’t have a site. The good news is I did find a similar but online source.
Oh and check out this great video about how to wear scarves. That’s right folks, I’m moving into video.
