Household tips


I've been using this techniques a long time ago and it really works and helps for our budget. I'm going to share with you some household tips especially in budgeting. This is very effective in saving and very practical, and not running out of budget mostly in grocery shopping. Here are some household tips according to my experience:
  1. Use a price book. Just a small notebook and always put this in your bag or wallet. This can help you to compare the prices in different products that you brought everyday in the market. Make as simple the price book and not complicated. Put the date, name of product, where you buy and the price.
  2. Leave ATM or credit card at home. Just bring cash in exact amount. Always check the price, then compare the price ounce-by-ounce basis. Buy snack items in volumes not in individual packaging. If possible leave your kids at home. If you don't have kids with you you cannot easily distracted in buying items.
  3. Sometimes we cannot avoid demands of our children to prepare them a special food for them and because of this we are running out of budget. I think it's time for them to train to eat what is there in the table. As long as it is nutritious and full of vitamins. This is also part of their discipline.
