When I was a poor downtrodden military wife....29 years ago....I worked really hard to make ends meet, keep us fed and clothed and the bills paid. Well, I did just that and did pretty well. Had a little fun along the way by being creative and finding affordable/free or cheap adventures for my kids.
I kept a little book where I wrote down everything I was doing and about 15 years ago I typed them up and kept adding to them. I thought you know, I should publish this....other people might be able to use these tips. But I never finished editing....I edited about 100 times and then....
I joined Etsy and created my shop, "BluJeanBeads" and started poking around in other people's shops. I wandered into Ezines and Books. Oh my goodness, I realized I could get this book to people who really need it, in a much more affordable way then if I published it as a traditional book.
So I opened a second shop, called MizHarrison on Etsy for that purpose. Check it out: etsy.com/shop/MizHarrison. I broke my work into two volumes to cut the expense and put it up for sale. The kind of tips you will find in Sista's Guide to Turning a Nickel Into a Dime:
... Purchase shampoos, conditioner, handlotion, bar soap, tissues, swabs, cotton balls, and other hair products in bulk at wareouse stores, discount shtores or this big have everything drugstores. (take a list and only buy what you need or what you use);
General tips for saving money:
...stop shopping for recreation, today.
...Try cost cutting before you take on the expense of another job.
You get the jist. I even have a statement that buying jewelry can be a much affordable way to spark your attire than shopping for a new outfit or spending on credit cards. Jewelry that can make a statement and that is trend/fad free is very affordable in the long run.
Happy sensible shopping. Happy sensible savings! Check out my guides!
