It’s been a
so long now that the economy has been struggling to recover from a
relentless recession and every family has to look at ways to survive in
these challenging times. My sister and I are no different and we have
begun searching for ways to save cash without a huge sacrifice to our
roommate lifestyle. We are leaving no stone unturned and these are a
couple of examples of how we are being pro-active in making big changes
in our spending. We are both big consumers in the home, & we are
learning to plan our shopping trips with precision and discipline.
Sticking to the list and checking local San Antonio grocer’s ads are
important to getting the biggest bang for college students buck. We have
also tackled the energy efficiency aspect of our home. New weather
stripping, caulking & insulation are top priority on our dads list
of helpful things . We also contacted San Antonio electric company rates
and was surprised how competitive the rates were. It was yet
another way to hold onto a few extra bucks during these tough economic
times. Learning to live with a budget is an ever-changing experience
for us, but we are dedicated and a positive attitude is the key
component.
