Saving on Clothing and Accessories
I buy all my clothes at the end of the season rather than the beginning. I end up with beautiful clothes at about 75% off! Which means I can either save or buy 4 times the clothes!

Saving on the little things
Coffee - I now make it at home instead of buying out. Same for lunch - I bring lunch instead of buying. It actually saves both money and calories, so that's a win-win. Once in a while I still do treat myself so I don't feel like I'…

How do you budget for the Holidays?
I buy all year round! This helps me find deals throughout the year and prevents a budget crisis from buying everything in one month. Early shopping really helps me to plan and spin in little amounts so it doesn't throw off my December budget

What are we missing?

Who would you trust most to be the guardian of your child?
My parents (if something happened to both me and my husband and we had children). I know they'd be very responsible.

Big pet expenses
I haven't yet, but I was so worried about the possibility that I recently bought accident insurance for my dog (the regular health insurance was too expensive, the the accident one should have me covered if something unexpected happens). I…
