How to Be a Frugal Mom and Save Money

There is one thing that all moms are always on the lookout for, and that is how to save a few dollars. Here are a few tips and suggestions that will definitely help your budget. The first suggestion is how you can save money on fabric softener. What you can do is actually cut the fabric softener sheets into 3 and get triple the value. Do not tear them because it will not work. Next when buying your cleaning products think bulk. It is well worth the investment to sign up for, Costco, Sams club, or BJ's just to name a few. They usually charge a yearly fee, but you get your money's worth in just one month. 

Once you have your membership start by buying your cleaner's by the gallon like Lysol to name just one. This is usually concentrated so make sure that you dilute it with water and then add to your own spray bottle. You can get a new spray bottle from a dollar store. 

There are also a few ways that you can save money when it comes to your car as well. First check you tire air pressure at least once a month. This will help you save on gas. Second make sure that you get regular tuneups when you are scheduled. When it comes to saving money at the supermarket try not buying the brand name products instead why not buy the store brands. If you take the time to read the active ingredients you will see that they are exactly the same, you are just paying more for the name. 

For example tylenol, and asprin to name just a few. Another suggestion is how to save money on spices. What you can do is buy fresh herbs from your local produce store (which is usually a lot cheaper than the supermarket) and hang them to dry in your kitchen. It's ok if they are a little wilted when you buy them since you are going to dry them out anyway. Once they are dry crumble them up and put them in your spice jars. You will actually be saving about $4 per jar. You might also think about growing your own fruits and vegetables as well.
