Great ideas Lori! I don't recommend what one client of mine did. She was told to unplug her freezer in the winter. The food is frozen and will keep for months in the garage. The problem was her garage stayed about 52 degrees in the winter and all the food and the freezer were a pool of muck when she opened it...
Great tips Lori! I am definitely a constant #8 offender. I think I need to install a recorded message attached to the accelerator pedal that gives off a "cha-ching" money sound and then a toilet flushing to constantly remind me of the money ill spent on speedy driving.
Thanks for the tips Lori!
These are some great reminders on ways to save money, I have tried many of them. Every little bit helps the pocket book in this economy.
these are great tips! keep them coming!
