This is a great article, budgeting tips are really helpful in these tough economic times. While creating my family’s budget plan this month, I realized how much money was being wasted into our cell phone contract. So I did some research on prepaid cell phones and found that this company called Straight Talk really saves us a bundle, plus it has unlimited nationwide coverage which is perfect for my husband’s job. If anyone has any other great budgeting tips, it would be greatly appreciated!

Wow! Somebody’s grandmother shot a man over finances? Hopefully she didn’t kill him. Speaking of finances, I found switching from a contract to a prepaid cell phone plan is saving me a bundle. I hear lots of talk about Metro PCS and TracFone’s new StraightTalk with unlimited everything for $45 a month, but Net10 suits my purposes. I paid around $30 for a good phone, I pay a flat rate of 10 cents a minute for calls all over the nation, and text messaging is 5 cents a minute, though I admit I don’t text. I have lots of friends abroad so I’m thrilled with Net10’s 100 international destinations for the same price as a local call. Cutting back on phone bills is one way to save. Every penny counts.

My grandma, Beatrice, once shot a man, and I suspect that it was a money-saving measure in the long run. He must have deserved it, and she went on just fine without him.

I’ve found this to be a great time to lose a little weight by cutting back on portion sizes, slowing down and savoring the flavors more. Recycling leftovers into some interesting soups is good too and most can be frozen for later use.
We’ve rediscovered the library and enjoy reading, checking out movies, and just running into folks we seldom see. It’s good to get out and about. We’ve even rediscovered window-shopping!
