One easy way I have saved money is by not from using store name brand lotions, shampoo, hair conditioner and other care product and using Avon. You will save 20% or more on personal care items. Your sell rep will deliver the product to you saving you gas and time going to the store. Avon Skin so soft shower gels are on sell for only $1.79 compared to store brand that average $5 on sale with a coupon. You can even buy online at www.youravon.com/fashion

I've always been thinking of saving money.I'm just quiet confused about shopping online as a good way to save your money. Shopping online has shipping fees.Is it really a good idea?

There are things money can not buy.
For everything else there is one and only one true GOD.
I wish Allah T. punishes all the non-true believers as they deserve.

For ten years I have bought everything within my house that I need or want at the Goodwill. I'll give you only a few examples. I already purchaced for awhile, one day walked just to look around to see if there was anything there I could use. There was a sign up front that said 20% off electronics just nosey so I just walked over and a man working there sat a box down that said rainbow vacum cleaner priced at only 12.00 opened the box everything looked brand new I plugged it in and made sure the beater bar worked too. I was amazed a 1800.00 for 12.00 plus the discount and it cost me $9.00 Someone not familiar with Rainbow must have priced it. I have used this for 10 years now. Two years ago I needed some sweaters I paid 10-15 for designer cashmere sweaters and I bought at least 10. Also got a designer shoulder bag from Columbia beautifuly made shoulder bag for 12.00 its sells by designer the site online in both English and Porteguese. They sell for as much as 1 thousand or more. Its hard to find finally did because the only sellers of these are the designer except those sold within the country and they don't put the price on their site you have to contact them. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE GOODWILL this one is town loaded with lawyers, politicians because of the Court of the county. Stores bring in last seasons clothes so of course still have the clothes store tags on them. I love this way of living.
You end up with plenty of money in your acct. by buying this way.

I think we are related, if I see a good bargain I buy it. I even buy things for other people because they were a good deal, and give it to them.
One way I am improving is by going to the thrift store. I bought nice art frames on sale and I use the thrift store to buy books with beautiful pics which I frame, and change decor as I feel the need to. I also buy cheap heavy clothing like corduroy, and use that material to make matching pillows to the prints.

knowing the difference between Need and Want will also paved the way for a painless saving. Need is basic necessity without it, you are like a scavenger. Want is luxury you can live without it. Want is more on comfort and jealousy to others' possesions.

find a smaller house and get rid of the stuff you really dont need. make your own food and go to the rummage sales and thrift shops. thats how i'm working my way out of the financail disaster im in. if you get offered some extra time to work then take it. the hours add up and can pay off a bill or two. go on facebook it cut down my texting a bunch and i keep up with all the family gossip. it save on photos and invitations also.

I am an impulse buyer. If it looks like a good bargain, even if I don't need it, I'll buy it. So, I now make a list and take just enough cash with me to purchase the items on my list. Even better, I send my husband to the store for me. He only gets items on the list and never looks around for other junk. Since he hates to shop, he doesn't browse.

What's with these companies, I had a simular problem with AT&T, they said I had closed my account and I got a bill for 1, 300.00 for early termination. well I work for the State so when Furloughs first started I thought of ways to save and ask AT&T about a month suspension, the person I spoke to said sure we can do that for you, for one month and then your service will go back. WHAT A MESS!!! I got stuck with so many charges, ect. ect. tring to explain...needless to say I know have Verizon after being an AT&T customer for years...........Now I'm having an issue with Comcast, with service I had two years ago, I went with Direct TV!! After being a Comcast customer for years. And I rather have Comcast, but forget the BULL!!
