The average American often feels
overwhelmed by debt and doesn't know where
to start or how to go about getting out of
debt. My husband and I paid off $20,000 of
credit card debt and medical bills in 5
years on an average income of $22,000 a
year. I can show you how you can save over
$7,000 in just one year cutting out a few
things on your grocery bill. They are
painless and simple and really add up over
time. If you don't think that cutting out
one bag of potato chips or one soda will
add up, look at the numbers at the end of
a year. It really does add up. It's a
misconception that you have to earn a lot
of money to be able to save. So if you're
trying to save so you can be a stay at
home mom or dad or for a down payment on a
house, pay off some credit card debt or
just have some emergency money, here are
14 ways to do it without depriving
yourself.
Cut out these things once per week and
save:
- 1
bag potato chips, $2.00 per bag,
$104.00
per year
- 6-pack
soda, $2.00 per 6-pack,
$104.00
per year
- 1
box granola cereal, $4.00 per box save
$208.00
per year
- Dinner

$1560.00

plus tip, $20.00 saves
$1040.00
per year
- Boxed
fruit rolls, 1 box $2.50, saves
$130.00
per
year
Cut
out 1 of these things per day and
save:
- 1
gourmet coffee from the coffee shop,
$2.50 saves
$913.00
per year
- 1-liter
soda purchased at convenience store,
$1.00 save
$365.00
per year
- 1-2
pk. snack cake purchased at convenience
store, $1.25 saves
$456.25
per year
- Bottled
water 1 liter $1.25, saves
$456.25
per year
- 1
cup juice/person family of 4 $1.50,
saves $547.50
per
year
- Reduce

week saves,
$390.00
per year
- Lunch

By
themselves, these efforts may seem
inconsequential - but they add up in a big
way. These ideas make it easy."
