Save some $$$ in 2010
By Michelle Cox
First, let me say HAPPY NEW YEAR! I can’t believe it’s 2010. That means new beginnings, new resolutions, and hopefully, an improving economy.
One of my resolutions (all of which I hope to outline in another post shortly) is to learn to live more frugally. This is in part out of necessity and in part out of a desire to begin teaching some frugality lessons to my children. So, I’m begun following some home economist bloggers, which led me to decide to join Money Saving Mom (a blogger I’m a growing to love more and more everyday!) and participate in an Eat from the Pantry Challenge. This challenge involves, well, eating from your pantry versus eating from a whole new load of groceries.
Of course, eating from the pantry will not completely eliminate the need to grocery shop. And for me, it won’t last as long as Money Saving Mom plans to make it last in her house.

That is something I try to do when the budget is snug, eat more from the pantry and freezer.
I swear this isn’t a spammy thing (even though it sounds like it), but I reviewed this service on my blog about saving money on your cell phone bill and have a giveaway for it too. They just offer you an analysis of your bill – they don’t try to get you to change stuff or sign up for other stuff or anything. You might find it helpful in saving money in the new year: http://www.robynsonlineworld.com/2009/12/myvalidascom-review-giveaway.html
