Video: Mrs. Frugal's saving tips

          


          


For most of us, the cost of living is rising by about three percent a year, but one savvy Australian is bringing her costs down instead.

You don't have to be an Australian to appreciate the wisdom of frugality.  There are 5 Tips from Mrs. Frugal and they are:

  • Change your attitude.  Slow down and enjoy life.  Why work yourself to death to make a little more money, when you aren't any happier?
  • Reduce your debt.  Add a little more money to pay down your mortgage, credit cards, and other debts.
  • Grow your own food.  The typical return on investment for an organic garden is twenty to one. So, spend a dollar on plant seeds and reep twenty dollars in rewards.  Plus, you can rest assured that the produce is free from harmful chemicals.
  • Stockpile things that are affordable.  If boxes of spaghetti noodles go on sale, maybe you should buy as many as you can.  Load up when prices are low.
  • Make due with what you have.  Look around your home and appreciate the things you have. Use them. You've paid for them. You should use them before buying something new.
