There are so many ways you can save that sometimes we overlook them. Here are a few...Do you shop at stores who offer gas rewards? Do you frequent your local library? Did you know libraries(at least in my state) offer passes to zoos, aquariums and other places that can be checked out?
I do most of my grocery shopping at Shop Rite, which does not offer gas rewards or points. However, I get most of my gas at a Stop and Shop gas station. Even without the gas rewards their gas has been the cheapest for me. I could only imagine if what I spent at Shop Rite I spent at Stop and Shop and the savings I could have on my gas. Wow...
I'm enjoying a TV series that I am behind on. I was heading out to mail my Netflix disc of the series back so I can get the next one. However, before I left I decided to check a local library I know carries TV series. Bingo, they had it. I was able to take out the remaining two discs I needed and paid nothing out of pocket. Some libraries charge for newer releases, but I make sure I avoid those. Libraries are filled with great treasurers waiting for you to find. Take some time and explore what your library has to offer. If you're not satisfied with your city or towns library go to the next town. In my state with a valid library card you can go to other libraries in the state. You might have to fill out a form to be added to their system, but it takes less than 5 minutes. In the past few years I have used the library to take out DVDs and books. I've glanced at the music and audio books, but have yet to take out either.
Since we are talking about libraries people have told me you can take out passes for free admission to zoos, aquariums and other places. I have yet to do this, but it can't hurt to ask what your library has to offer.
