Memorial Day Weekend

  It's the weekend Well almost. Hi family with the weekend and family coming all at once what are we doing to save money and still be able to entertain our family for the holidays. Here's some suggestions from a cheapskate.

The norm is barbeque hamburgers, hotdogs and steaks but with the price of food. This can be expensive. Look at what you already have in your freezer that you need to cook and can make a holiday meal with. Hey that pot roast looks like a holiday meal. These chicken legs will taste good with some sauce on them. You get the point. This will save you money on buying food that's already overpriced.

Decoration $1.25 store has a few nice things. Also the colors are red, white and blue. See if you have any leftover decorations form other holiday events that would work just right with this years holiday event. Also party city and 99 cents stores might have a few things that you can purchase all for on clearance.

Don't be ashamed to tell your guest to bring something to the party. If they can not cook like me I brink the drinks or paper cups, plates etc,

Let the music play buy setting up a boom box if you still have one. Getting music off your iPad have it set up with speakers, What about using that stereo system for once that you have collecting dust in the corner. Turn it on and play those albums you have sitting with it.

Ask your friends and family if they have an inflatable pool, games. buy balloons and other things that the kids can do to have fun with out the cost. I have seen the dollar store carrying a lot of holiday items and things that the kids can play with during the event. all for $1.25.

             The most important thing is to have fun enjoy your company and save that $$

                                          Have a Safe & Blessed Holiday

                                  Have a Great Sunday & Save that $$$$

Happy May

                                                                          Hello Family

Happy May this month we need to flex our saving muscles. This is the month that you set your budget to saving more spend less. How do we do that.? First you need to make a budget to see what you're spending your money on. Shelter, transportation, energy, food, medical expenses, clothing, debt. Once the budget is made now you know how much everything cost. (YouTube has a lot of videos of how to do a simple budget) Now the hard part how much are you making money wize. Are you making more or less than what your spending each month. Once you get your budget in order. Find creative ways to cut back. You don't need new clothes, name brand food, name brand stuff. Good old fashion basic stuff will do and they last longer and taste better.

I know our lives are all different from each other, but you can do this you can flex your saving muscles and start to find ways to save and cut back. So that you can fund your retirement, pay off your bills, go on a mini-vacation. Heck get the repairs done to your home you have been putting off because you did not have the money. I know I have been there and done it.

What I am doing right now is lowing my credit card purchase amounts. Finding out what I can use credit card  points for. Looking over my car and home insurance. Looking over all the bills that come into my house to see if I need it or can I cancel it to save money. I have  fear factor on my side. The fear of being old  hungry and homeless that's what keeps me motivated and  trying to save as much money as I can because you never know.

                                       Have A Great Cheap Cheetah Day & Save that $$$
