3.) BBQ. no more ordering in or going out to eat every chance you get. Now that the weather is nice grab a few items from the grocery store that you can grill. From veggies to steaks the possibilities are endless. Rather than going out, making your own meals will save you tons of money and are usually healthier too!

4.) Yard Sale!! Don't just save money, make money! During your seasonal house cleaning go through each room and make a "garbage" pile and a "yard sale" pile. It's amazing how much stuff you hoard during the winter months and don't even realize. Hold a yard sale and whatever is left over you can either sell on eBay or donate!

5.) Plant a garden! Think of how much you can save on fresh produce! It doesn't have to be huge but plant a few items that you know you will use. Start out with a small garden and work your way up each year. I plant a garden every year and the amount of tomatoes alone that I yield each time is astounding and a huge money saver!!

  2. It's scary just how quickly eating out adds up. The amount of food I could cook up for the same price as a dinner out is just astounding. And yet I still be super lazy and order out waaaaaay more than I should. Sigh, silly money blocks.

    Great post :)
