Out with the old and in with the new

After spending the last couple of weeks going through seldom used items and offering them on my local freecycle group I wanted to remind you of this great resource. Does your family freecycle? Do you even know what freecycle is? 

Communities all over have freecycle groups. Instead of tossing items in the garbage you are encouraged to offer them on freecycle and keep usable items out of landfills. There are different groups depending on where you live and you can be a member of several different groups.

I have obtained great things by being a member of my local freecycle group such as a food dehydrator, live plants, clothing, books and several other items. In addition I have also offered items such as beds, clothing the girls have outgrown, toys, books, kitchen items, even surplus food items.

I encourage you to find your local group and join.  There are also Yahoo groups, outside of the official Freecycle.org group, that you can be a part of.

Bulk Food Buying Opportunity

As you may have read, I have been tooting the horn of Zaycon Foods for the past few months. I was first turned onto them while searching for bulk food. As part of my savings plan I am always looking for ways to buy in bulk when it is cheaper than not.

Right now in Texas until January 11th (or while it lasts) you can order 40 pounds of chicken at $1.69/ lb and 30 lbs of fresh hickory smoked bacon at $2.97/ lb. If you are in other states, they also have cod, salmon, beef and pies available (so jealous).

If you don't have the freezer space you can always go in on a box with a friend or two and split the cost and the food.

Happy New Year!

Everyone makes resolutions at the beginning of each new year. One resolution I want you to all make is to save more money when possible. Below are several ways to get you on your way.

Online shopping - Be sure to shop through sites like Ebates.com or Upromise.com to earn rebates for your online purchases

Codes - When you are shopping online be smart and always look for coupon codes first. The site Retailmenot.com is a great coupon sharing site.
