We all like to save money, but not all of us have the time it takes to find the very best deals. Between working, volunteering, child care, exercise, etc., it can be difficult to find that perfect balance between saving money and using our time wisely. Below is a list of suggestions that can save you money even when time is at a premium.
- Shop ONLINE! Consider shopping online for everything. People have looked at me like I have 3 heads when I mention that I've ordered dog food or napkins online, but really it's one of the best time/money savers I can think of. You can shop in the comfort of your own home, eliminating the need to drive from store to store. You don't have to haul bags of items from the store to your vehicle and then into your home. You can get free/inexpensive shipping at many places and have all your necessities delievered right to your front door! It saves you money on gas and maintenance on your vehicle. Let someone else do the work for you!! Some of the best sites for purchasing essentials inexpensively without a lot of hassle:
- Amazon Mom
: By subscribing to Amazon mom (if you're a parent) or Amazon Prime (if you're not), you are eligible for FREE 2-day shipping on most of Amazon's inventory. By combining that with their Subscribe & Save
service, you'll save 15% off everything you order and it will be shipped directly to your front door at regular intervals. Sweet!
- YaySave: YaySave is a site dedicated to saving you money through group purchasing on household goods like shampoo, tissues and shaving supplies. They offer flat $5/day shipping and can save you a bundle if you don't have time to clip coupons.
Happy saving!!!
