I went to the grocery store last night and spent $25 on a small bag of groceries. I wasn't even buying the expensive stuff: meat, milk, detergent, etc. I am amazed at how much the cost of food has gone up in the last month or so. One goal of mine this year is to actually save some money for emergencies.
But how do you save money, when you're already struggling to pay bills, put food on the table, heat and cool your home? How do you put money aside, when there's not enough to go around in the first place? I found an article at LifeHacker that gave me some ideas.
I don't think freezing credit cards in a block of ice will help anyone. I don't use credit cards anyway. But frankly, if I wanted to use a credit card, and it was frozen in a chunk of ice, I'd run some hot water over the darn thing and get myself to the mall.
Some of the ideas did make sense though. So check it out and let me know what you think. It's Top 10 Ways to Trick Yourself Into Saving Money.
