I haven't paid for cable television since 2000 and I haven't had a car since 2001. Another money-saver: using drugstore.com. It keeps me from making impulse purchases at the local drugstore. <br /><br />Sadly, all my work-at-home-clothing-savings are negated by what I have to spend on clothing for a child who grows like a weed. And I'm a tad bit vain about having a well-dressed child.Malanga Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09491000178834158241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5205679116616833113.post-46158113220339712462011-03-03T13:57:00.187-05:002011-03-03T13:57:00.187-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15087371172509035383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5205679116616833113.post-56908537241074296742011-03-03T13:33:31.239-05:002011-03-03T13:33:31.239-05:00Though I only work from home about once a week, I ...Though I only work from home about once a week, I definitely spend less time getting ready on those days (however, like you, I do make an effort to at least shower and throw jeans on at SOME point!). For me, though, this is actually something that makes me sad! I really enjoy putting outfits together and trying to think of fun and different combinations, so not having any place to go puts a damper on my creativity and enthusiasm. Also, even if I were a hermit, I would still want to go shopping. <br /><br />I'm glad you're saving money! I agree that sometimes you just need to really take stock of your priorities when it comes to purchases. <br /><br />In closing, I have a badonk, and I love my skinny jeans. :)Looks and Bookshttp://www.looksandbooks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5205679116616833113.post-22347175552323661882011-03-03T10:57:27.896-05:002011-03-03T10:57:27.896-05:00we're been getting much better at saving money...we're been getting much better at saving money on food - not letting things go bad, eating out much less and making our lunches as opposed to buying them. when i added up how much we saved on home-made lunches alone, it shocked me that i, personally, was saving about $130 a month!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11307016539470651186noreply@blogger.com
