Saving Money, Are You Making a List?
One thing that is incredibly easy to do to begin saving your hard earned money right now is this:
Make a list!
Yes, that's obvious. Your mother said it, your grandmother said it, and your great-grandmother probably said it. But many people still don't do it. They go into a store with only a general idea of what they want. The usual result is that they overbuy.
I know that in my family, if we head off to the grocery store or WalMart (or any other store for that matter) and we don't have a list there are quite often a couple hundred dollars of extra stuff in our cart that we could live without.
Be careful of "listless shopping", it will cost you!
I should also mention that you should keep a list of things you purchase on a regular basis and when those items go on sale that you should stock up on the savings.
