SPENDING HABITS?

Amy Spencer

“Last year, my husband and I did an experiment where we spent one month living like we were broke and compared that spending spreadsheet with our regular spending habits. One lasting outcome was that we now shop generic brands, use coupons and shop for what’s on sale.”

April Deneault

“When grocery shopping, we buy more generic brand items and shop at Walmart more than we used to. When buying gas, I always use my Smiths fuel points or Holiday Club Card to save a few cents off each gallon. I’m thankful that my mom and boss both raise chickens, so I haven’t had to deal with the cost of eggs.”

“I try and group my errands together to try and save money on gas. I also try not to eat out as much. Susan supplies us with eggs from her chickens!”
