I've been trying to save money for Christmas, so I have been doing all of these to keep from spending money and from going stir crazy. I hope this list gives you some ideas. It's so easy to get caught up in spending money on everyday things that we normally don't pay attention to. Buying a coffee every morning adds up as well as many other items that we think are cheap. A dollar here and a dollar there adds up in the long run!
What are some ideas that you have on saving money?
