Single parents often struggle with buying basic necessities and paying bills and usually live paycheck to paycheck. They often do not have any savings and are in debt. Here are 10 easy ways for single parents to save money:
1.) Buy a Used Car: Buy or trade in your current car for a used car with a cheaper payment. This will either eliminate your car payment or save you $50 to $200 a month on payments.
2.) Use Coupons: Buy whatever items are on sale or buy items with coupons. This can save you $50 to $300 a month. There have been instances where shoppers had a total bill of $200 and ended up paying $5 using coupons and buying items on sale.
3.) Buy Generic: Buy everything generic, including household items, clothing, prescriptions, toiletries, dry goods, canned goods, paper products, etc. This will save you on average $5 to $50 a month.
4.) Buy Washable Clothes: Buy clothes that do not require dry cleaning. This will save you on average $50 to $150 a month.
5.) Image: Do you own hair and nails and buy your makeup from a drugstore. This will save you on average $40 to $100 a month.
6.) Gas: Buy regular gas for your car unless the owner's manual suggests otherwise. Find the cheapest gas in your neighborhood to purchase. This will save you on average $.01-$.02 per litre.
7.) Shop at Discount Stores: Buy household items in bulk, such as paper products, and cleaning supplies, at discount stores such as Target, Wal-Mart, Costco, etc. This will save you on average $5 to $50 a month.
8.) Reduce expenses: Reduce or cancel your cable plan, cell phone or Internet service, or get the cheapest plan available. This can save you $20 to $100 a month.
9.) Buy groceries at Superstores: Buy your groceries at superstores or wholesale stores such as Wal-Mart, Costco, etc. Buy nuts, grains, spices, legumes at wholesale or health food stores. This will save you $30 to $200 a month on processing costs charged at regular grocery stores.
10.) Fun with Kids: Check your local library or newspaper to find free activities that you can do to with your kids. This can save anywhere from $5-$100 a month.
