Check out the recipes on mommysavers, homemade is always cheaper! Don't go out to eat, find something quick to whip together if you are too tired to cook. Use coupons.

If you get the urge to go clothes shopping, shop consignment, but resist the urge to spend altogether by reading about other mom's success stories.

If you work, make sure you bring your lunch and coffee to work from home.

Look at the big picture, think of your dreams and you will resist the urge to spend. Follow the FTJ!

good one

I'd say to look for fab sales. I've snagged awesome items for about the same price as consigment. Target, Ross & Old Navy are great!
