Summer, I just remembered. You can get a free app called “Flipp.” It lets you find sales on anything you like, and you can arrange by lowest to highest price, or specific store, etc.

Sometimes I have to go to two or three stores, but I just plan a route that saves the most gas.

Also, if you can buy store brand items/food rather than brand names, you’ll save a bunch.

Also, if you occasionally need a break and order in, try their website to see if they allow cheaper prices for ordering online, or if they have coupons you can print. Instead of ordering Chinese Food, for example, I’ve found ginger beef, chicken balls, mixed rice & veggies for sale cheap at the deli. We frequently get a 2 foot long sub/grinder for about $10 Canadian. We’ve also grabbed rotisserie chicken. You can save the leftover chicken to make chicken salad sandwiches or throw into soup or pasta.

Is there any possibility that you could grow your own garden vegetable, that can save you money! If you have a bunch of seedlings or plants, you could even sell some produce or seedlings to people.

Do you have any soda pop/alcohol/cans or bottles, can you return them and get the deposit! You can also go hunting for them in ditches, playgrounds, etc...

Can you have a garage sale/tag sale? Get all the decent stuff you don’t use and sell it on your lawn or driveway. Do you know anyone you could speak with to have a friend or family member or two.....

I don’t know exactly how they work but you (or your husband or both) can apply for being an Uber Driver, or you can also apply to be a delivery person for Skip the Dishes.

Can either of you house sit, dog/cat/fish/babysit?

Can you put a note in your local social media that you and your husband are available for certain odd jobs? Bringing home groceries for someone, We routinely have a couple who come by to rake/weed/mow or in winter to clear snow. How about paint fences?

Do you know anyone at church who might help put together a joint rummage sale).

I hope these ideas helped a little!
