How smart moms stretch a dollar

Be a money tracker. Keep a notebook to record where your money is going so that you can figure out how you can save.


Websites such as Geezeo.com and Wesabe.com can help with your effort to track your spending – and they’re free!

Clip coupons and sign up for your grocer’s
e-newsletter. These are both quick and easy ways to save on items that you buy regularly.   

Buy a second freezer to keep in the garage so that you can buy items in bulk while they’re on sale, such as meats and frozen fruits and veggies.

Switch to high-value products that take less to do more, such as Downy Ultra and Dawn; with 40% more cleaning power than other brands, they provide more bang for your buck.

Shop ahead. Keep a list of all the gifts you need to buy throughout the year, including birthdays, teacher gifts, etc., and take advantage of items on sale.
