I am learning slowly the coupon game. I went shopping this week and saved about $20.00 in coupons alone that did not include the store sales. It may not seem like much but every bit helps. Thanks for being a blessing to so many families. I have told all my friends about your site as well. Shynea,

I usually throw a big yardsale once every year. For the nicer things, I will take to a consignment shop. With eBay and Craigslist readily available, that gives me yet another avenue to turn my unused stuff into a little bit of extra cash for my family. Hey, I might even have to do an online yardsale and sale some things on my website. ;) Take care, Shynea Dear Alanda,

I know that quite a few of the bigger churches will help with not only utilities but with medical expenses as well. In times of need we have to put our pride aside and do what is best for our family. Take care, Shynea Dear Rona,

I love sharing frugal tips with my readers. My husband was just recently laid off and we are managing okay for the time being. I have no idea how we would do if it stretched on for months. Take care, Shynea Dear Kelly,

I haven't had one in over three years. Take care, Shynea Dear Alanda,

What a shocker that was to me! I was used to buying whatever I wanted, when I wanted to get it without question. But instead of getting depressed, I got smarter and when I came across this site, (I think in an Ebony edition), I fell in love with it. Thank you so much for your weekly posts and tips. I thank God for you! I've saved so much just by checking here every week and I made a vow to shop smarter even when I get that income back!

Initially I was intimidated by Ebay but it is very easy to set up an account. I think the key is to organize what you are selling, take pictures and load on the site. My daughter's clothes and shoes were added. Now I have to tackle my son's stuff and see what I have. In an attempt to clean house, I thought about organizing the kids clothes for Ebay.

There are local churches that assist families in need with food, clothing and sometimes utilites.. Some people may not want to go this route but in hard time you have to ask for assistance if needed Hi everyone I must say that we have had to minimize our spending and tighten our budget since I lost my job in November.I have done many of these tips but I have one to add.
