Go "Shopping" In Your Own Home!

Members Were Sparked

Pick some time, like 30 days, and anytime you are tempted to go buy anything, "shop" in your own home first! Really look around and see if you already have the item, or something similar. I was surprised that many times I already had a very similar item and I didn't need to buy anything new!

Make your own COFFEE!

Rather than buying from the coffee shop, make your own coffee at home and add flavored creamers. Or buy a milk frother and coffee syrups to make your own lattes and cappucinos. Invest in a great travel mug and you are good to go! Yummy and money saving!

MORE INFORMATION:
Milk Frothers are small immersion style blenders. You can find them on amazon.com for around $10. Simply warm milk in the microwave for about 45 seconds. Use the frother to get some great foam, add brewed coffee and any assortment of coffee syrups (vanilla, hazelnut, chocolate syrup, etc)!

This work out tape is so awesome. It has people in the work out your size, so I found that to really be great. Also it goes at your pace. I would recommend work out tapes because you can work out in the privacy of your own home. So you do not have to be caution of anything. No one can watch in your own home!249

Use Your Cell Phone to Help You Shop

My DW and I would faithfully make lists of what we needed when we went shopping. About 75% of the time, the list remained on the table.
We started using the NOTE function on our cell phones when we thought of something we needed.
Since we "don't leave home without it", we never have to guess when

MORE INFORMATION:
