10 tips to: Save Money in this Economy

I support my family and have to cut my budget down to the bare minimum. 

So here's what I do that helps me save money. 

I hope it helps you to.

1. www.hulu.com offers free TV viewing.  You can find ways to plug your computer into your TV and receive FREE TV!  You can also watch newly released movies that are still in the theaters at www.quicksilverscreen.com.  I saved 70.00 a month by turning off my Direct TV.
2. Turning off your home phone and using unlimited cell phone plans!!  TMobile offers an unlimited talk plan with no contract for 49.99 a month.  Boost Mobile has the unlimited text, phone and internet.  I had no luck with the Samsung phone they gave me though.  It was a mess so I switched to TMobile.  And of course Cricket Unlimited Plans.
3. Energy Efficient homes.  Cover your windows with plastic you can buy at Home Depot to prevent the cold air from coming in.  Unplug appliances your not using.   Even if their not on I hear they still use electricity.  Turn everything off before you leave house.  
4. Shop at www.KSL.com or www.craigslist.org  for items that can be bought used.  A lot of times you can get new items there that someone doesn't need.  
5. Buy a Entertainment Book!!  www.entertainment.com  This has helped me save tons of money.  I use the coupons everywhere!!  You can get 50% off Hotels and theres a free no buy anything Carls Jr. coupon right in front.  I love it.
6. Amazing Insider Secrets: 1703 Money Saving Tips  This book is really helpful for saving money.
7. Get a fuel efficient car.  This one you use for all your here and there trips.  Hybrids are great and very expensive.  A good alternative is a Geo.  
8. When you know its gift time for someone you love.  Make them something.  A nice photo doesn't cost much.  I pick up frames at garage sales and keep them stored in my garage for when I need a nice frame for pictures.  
9. Have a garage sale.  Nothing feels better than cleaning out clutter in your house!  What doesn't sell you can put on KSL or give to charity and get a tax deduction.
10. Plan out your meals.  This saves ton of groceries.  You can use online sites to print grocery coupons also.  I'm not to savvy on this but I do know they offer classes on this subject so if your interested watch for them!  Good Luck!
