We paid at least 30 cents less per gallon for gas in Idaho this week compared to our own state. <br /><br />:o)Ari C'ronahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18237061501219999281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5074971821134550671.post-64691936821324017642009-05-21T21:59:04.271-07:002009-05-21T21:59:04.271-07:00aaaawwww....

Wal-Marts every day prices are lower, but if another grocery store has BOGO or puts chicken on sale, it winds up being a lot cheaper. <br /><br />We buy family size packs of meat and split it up and put it into freezer bags and that saves per pound. I got one of those ziploc pumps and the baggies where you can suck all the air out. It really does keep it from getting freezer burn. I also use it for lettuce and it keeps it good MUCH longer!!<br /><br />We are just really careful about leaving the lights on and use the ceiling fans and windows as much as possible.<br /><br />I've also read that turning off your printer when not using it saves a lot of money.<br /><br />I also started buying Tide Coldwater detergent since heating the water costs a lot more. I am pleasantly suprised at how much I like it.<br /><br />When we moved to GA, we moved into a fairly large house from a 3 bedroom apt. and have actually spent about $50 less on our electric bill!!<br /><br />I also use coupons. We have a baby, so we spend a lot on food (she eats at least 6 jars a day), formula (due to be not being able to produce milk), diapers, wipes, etc. So, I signed up for all of the baby brands mailing lists and get lots of samples and coupons in the mail.<br /><br />Oh, and we cut out cable or dish TV. We watch movies we have, but don't pay the outrageous prices for TV! I miss it sometimes, but really, we just go outside more!<br /><br />That's all I can come up with now, but I'm sure I can think of more if I try :)<br /><br />DesiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5074971821134550671.post-48367288779723330352009-05-21T18:05:45.736-07:002009-05-21T18:05:45.736-07:00Yea, I noticed too:
