Hopefully City Chic will help you figure out how to fit takeout back into your budget (once in a while, at least)!
If you didn’t win this one, don’t worry–there’s still time to enter the Max Factor Inspiration Giveaway! Hurry, though, the contest closes tomorrow at midnight. You can enter as many times as you want between now and then for lots of chances to win!
AND if that’s not enough for you ladies, I’ll be announcing at least one new giveaway next week!
Now, here are some of the other great tips you ladies submitted in response to my question:
I plan all my meals in advance, so when I get to the grocery store, I don’t tend to buy what I don’t need.
Use generic items instead of brand name for things like toilet paper, cotton balls, paper towels, and even things like lotion and nail polish remover.
If I want something, I put it back on the shelf. If I still want it in a week I will get it. If I forget about it, OH Well.
I order appetizers instead of big meals.
Shop Good Will in great neighborhoods.
Signing up for newsletters from your favorite websites, so you get all the inside deals!
I am a size 6 shoe size and I go to the kids shoe stores. The size numbers are different but they fit up to ladies 7 or 8. Get your favorite Australian cozy boots for a lot less!
When shopping online, always visit retailmenot.com and see if that website has any coupon codes to offer. I have saved money on things you would never think had coupon codes.
Bring brown bag lunches – not only do they save you money, you can also cut a lot of calories too!
Cheap nail polish is a great way to try new color trends, just top with a good top coat.
Making use of Walgreen’s Register Rewards..I’ve saved a lot from using these offers!
I shop thrift stores and look for ways the items can be updated — somethings just new buttons or a scarf can make the difference.
Thank you to everyone who entered, and don’t forget to come back for more giveaways!
