Tips to Save Money?

I know just about everyone is trying to save money right now, but we are really on a tight budget.

We have medical bills due to my son’s occupational and physical therapy and have one salary. I try to be creative and buy store brands, use coupons and shop when there are sales. Clearance racks are my friend. The thing is, I am not that great at couponing. I have tried and had some success, but don’t have the time or energy to dig through dumpsters to clip coupons out of discarded Sunday papers. Do you have any tips? I’d love more ideas. I know some people are great at this.

As you know, I do love Ebay and hand me downs. I have awesome friends that pass down used clothing and toys. I would just love to save more on food. My youngest son is an eater. They both love bananas so much that I should buy stock in a banana company. I have heard of things like Angel Food Ministries, where you can get food and pay less than you would at a grocery store. Has anyone tried that?

Basically, the reason for this post is to get ideas, so please leave me some in the comments below. Thanks and have a good day!
