There are some easy to do things you can do today that will save you some money. Try taking the money that you do save with these ideas into a savings account each week, and watch your account grow. Maybe it will grow slowly, but some savings is better than no savings every week, right?

Cook a meatless meal tonight.

Make a yummy veggie meal and save! ake a pasta sns meat, throw in a salad and garlic bread. Skipping the meatballs should save you at least $2.00-$3.00. Make a meatless meal three times a week could be an extra $12.00 for your savings account!

Skip The Starbucks Kick!

Or whichever coffee house you visit. Make your own coffee at home in the morning before leaving for work or errands. Use a reusable coffee container that fits in your car’s cup holder. Don’t forget to put the cash you would have spent at your usual coffee stop into your savings account at the end of the week!

Make a Dinner of Leftovers.

One night a week, at least, use all the leftovers in your refrigerator to make dinner. Don’t buy anything, just use whatever you find. Make it a smorgasbord type meal…. your kids will enjoy picking and choosing their items!

Get creative and think of money-saving tricks you can do each week. A few pennies here and there will add up if you save them!
