We are retired and my husband drinks a lot of coffee. We like to travel. I make a whole thermos of coffee and take it with us. We don't stop and buy coffee. Sometimes I even take sandwiches.

I love the coffee my husband makes for me every morning, nothing from a store can compare! It's nothing special as far as brand goes... I guess his touch is what makes it so wonderful!

I just loved flavored coffee--and buying the sugar free davinci syrups at discount stores like Marshalls saves me a bundle. That way, flavored coffee w/o fat sugar PLUS saving money. Yummy

I got my hubby doing this a few years ago, resulting in $150 - $160 savings per month.

I save a ton of money by making my own laundry detergent - plus, no dyes or scents (I'm sensitive to them).
MORE INFORMATION:
There are various "recipes" on line - the one I use calls for 1/2 cup washing soda, 1 cup soap flakes (I grate bars of Ivory on my grater), and 1/2 cup of borax.
Use 1 to 2 tablespoons per load. This works in warm or cold water
