When you’re a busy mom, it can be difficult to think about saving money but that’s when you need to save the most. Fortunately, there are ways to save money that don’t require a tremendous amount of effort or time. It just takes a little ingenuity and determination.
Here are 4 clever ways moms can save money:
Buy quality clothing, shoes and other items:
You may pay a little more up front but you will save money in the end when you buy good quality products. The items will hold up better and last longer so you don’t have to replace them as often.
Go shopping without the kids:
When you shop alone, it’s easier to stick to your shopping list. You can keep your mind on what you’re doing and you won’t be tempted to buy items your kids don’t really need just because they see and ask for them.
Make your own cleaning supplies:
Making your own cleaning supplies is less expensive than buying commercial brands. They’re also safer for your family to use since they don’t contain all the harmful ingredients that many of the commercial brand cleaners have.
Take advantage of free entertainment:
There are many ways that you can keep your kids entertained without spending a lot of money. Go to the park, the lake, watch movies or make crafts together.
Any mom can use these clever ways to save money each week. Over time, the savings can really add up to make a big difference in your bank account.

These are great, Sara! My problem with grocery shopping isn’t having the kids — it’s having a sweet tooth 😛
