A couple of things I have come across recently. So these won't make you rich, but every little bit helps.
- Paper Products: Try not to buy. Saves money and the environment. Use towels, wash clothes in the kitchen and cloth napkins at the dinner table.
- Junk mail, School Handouts: If it is blank on the other side then I use it to print online coupons etc. If it has my name on it then I either black sharpie it out and/or shred the scraps. I rarely print anything without something on the other side.
- Beans: I have been trying to cook dried beans from the bag instead of buying canned. It saves at least 50% and you can control the sodium (zero added). I freeze in amounts similar to the can.
- Chicken: Roasted chickens...you can barely buy a whole chicken for the same price as those roasted ones in the store. But what makes it an even better deal is making chicken broth from the bones. Again you can control the sodium. And it tastes so much better. Recipe
- Wipes Tubs: You can use the empty tubs to store crayons, markers, stamps, anything you can think of.
