My hours picked up at work, which is a great thing, well, in the aspect of making money it is. When I'm not at work, I've still been diligently working on my Spring Cleaning. One major task I've been dreading has been cleaning out my closet. There are years of clothing I have purchased. So much of it was disorganized. It was a pain to decide what to keep and what to pitch.
Even after I weeded out stuff that no longer fit me or was stained/torn, I still had a lot of stuff I could still wear. When I had more money a few years ago, I also had a little bit of a shopping addiction. I realized with the selection of clothes I had, I could make several different stylish outfits. However, where do I start?
One awesome site that I went to that had some great tips is: http://myyearwithoutclothesshopping.com/. There is also a 30 Day Shop Your Wardrobe Challenge. Yes, I'm going to take it, because it had some great challenges in pulling off outfits from the clothes I have. Here's the PDF if you would like to try the challenge out yourself: http://myyearwithoutclothesshopping.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/30-Day-Shop-Your-Wardrobe-Challenge.pdf

Going to Aldi
My money saving trick I tried today was going to Aldi. Now, I usually go to Wal-Mart and buy generic. That does save cash. However, at Aldi it did shave $20 off my grocery bill. Its not the highest class place to shop, but hey it works.
One thing I can't do without is my take and bake pizzas. I know, its more expensive and my hubby complains that I just don't like the frozen ones. However, they do have them at Aldis for $5.99 and Wal-Mart has them for $8.99.
Milk was half the price!! That's one thing that I through a lot of! I can go on and on, but if you don't mind generic items (and seriously, you are just paying for advertising!) you can save a lot of $$$. If I can save at least $20 a week, I really will have a Merry Christmas.
Yes, having to bring my own tote bags and paying the quarter for the shopping cart was a pain in the butt, but this really will help me save money in the future.
