Even though our President denies the fact we are in a recession by saying it’s just an “Economic slow down” I thought it would be helpful to post some great household money saving tips.

1. Make your toilet paper last longer by pulling apart the ply to double the roll. (You may also allocate sheet usage.)
2. Using scissors, cut the toes out of your kids shoes out to insure a longer use for those growing feet.
3. Save money on gas by siphoning it from your neighbors SUV or recreational vehicle. (I recommend doing this in the ‘Off” hours such as night time or while they are at work.)
4. By all means avoid the home decor aisles in Target.
5. Get back to our old friend Margarine, she’s cheaper and she doesn’t need refrigeration!
6. Hit those pricey grocery stores with your kids during “Sample hour” and fill up on whatever they have to offer.
7. When going to see a movie make it a double feature and sneak popcorn or any other favorite snack by pretending to be pregnant.
8. Have a desired and much sought after parking spot? Wait for the desperate soul who is willing to pay you for it.
9. Bring your own bugs out to dinner. After enjoying the fare place one on top of whatever is left. Bingo! Free meal. Do not leave remaining bugs at restaurant.
10. Start your own sweat shop and hire all the neighborhood kids to do the grunt work.
