		<description><![CDATA[Who Wants To Give Senior Citizens A Price Break? Lots of older people have to make do on limited incomes. As a sign of respect for elders, and as a good public relations strategy, many companies offer good senior citizens discounts. Some of these are well know, but some have not been that well publicized at all. Elderly people can get the discounts, but they have to ask for them! You may wonder why companies would have hidden or secret senior discounts. Some may not want to promote themselves as a company for older people because they want to present a youthful image. However, they do offer price breaks and deals for the over 65 crowd. Lots Of Time, You Have To Ask For Over Age Discounts! Again, some companies or stores do not promote the discounts. We learned about a lot of these offers because we got feedback from people who asked. Next time you are shopping, banking, booking a trip, or eating out, ask if you will get rewarded for your grey hair. You should! Senior Travel Discounts Many people dream of travel during retirement. They may want to visit new places, or they may just want to [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Do You Always Spend More Than Your Budget At Grocery Stores? I know that I can count on food and other grocery expenses every month. We all have to eat and feed our families, right? However, I also have always had trouble with exceeding my planned grocery budget. I have joked that there must be some sort of drug in the air at the market to force me to buy things I had not planned on picking up. Let me mention that I have never thought people should stick to a hard and fast grocery list. You may do better when you can shop the sales, take advantage of bargains, or allow yourself some flexibility so you can try something new! However, I often return home to put away my groceries, and then find I did not really get any bargain at all. Grocery Stores Know Psychology! Our brain appears to be susceptible to &#8220;signals&#8221;, and these signals allow us to be primed to purchase things. You may think that your weekly trip to the market a fairly mindless activity, but this could not be further from the truth! Mark Lindstrom, author of the book Brainwashed, tells us exactly how [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Some Years it is Tough to Be Santa! This will be a tough year for many families. As I am writing this, I am thinking about the stack of property tax bills on my counter, and also the holiday gifts that my kids want. This may seem like a bad time to think about being frugal, but it is probably one of the best times. So how can I cut some expenses, like holiday gift giving, while sticking to a budget. A Holday Gift Budget is Important! Before you buy anything, write down a realistic budget. If you can set aside $300 or $1,000, I would suggest taking that amount of money out in cash. It is a lot easier to stick to your budget if you have to spend real money instead of just swiping plastic at the register. If you cannot use cash, try to keep a register of your expenses. The act of keeping a tally and writing it down will help. So Where Can We Find Cheap Gifts that are Still Nice? I have written about this before, but thrift stores can be gold mines of inexpensive gifts. You will also be doing triple duty with [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Do You Need some Cheap Grocery Shopping Ideas? We found a great place to read, and to share, some great ideas for frugal food shopping! One of our sister websites, Frugal Mavens, is running a couple of contests which should help us all brainstorm and save money every week. Please visit before you make up your next grocery list! Cheap Meal Planning Contest This one involves meal planning for one dinner. The dinner should be healthy, tasty, and attractive to the tastes of a family with adults and kids. Entries should keep the per-person cost of each meal fairly low just to demonstrate that thrifty cooks can still provide great meals! See the Cheap Meal Plan Tips Contest Here! Cheap Weekly Grocery Shopping This contest is more complex, so you may want to start with the first one. You must lay out a week&#8217;s grocery shopping for food that does not cost more than $150. The editor&#8217;s example cost about $100. With this list, you mus provide 5 breakfasts, 5 lunches, 5 dinners, and 5 snacks for a family of 4. Again, meals should be balanced and healthy, tasty, and something that you believe kids or adults would enjoy. See [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Ok, here we are approaching the holiday season while the economy sags all around us. The good part of this is we can find lots of deals out there as the stores compete for business. The bad part, of course, is many of us find we have a lot less money saved or invested, less credit at a more expensive price, higher costs for monthly bills like groceries, and possibly, less income. And of course, we all meant to start a holiday savings account last January. But somehow, with higher prices and lower returns, that account either got raided, or never even started in the first place. Don&#8217;t feel guilty, but just figure out how to attack this holiday season without it. There&#8217;s always next year. So how can you get through this season without racking up strained credit card bills? Alot of it comes down to being organized. Go ahead and follow Santa&#8217;s lead; make a list and check it twice! Then go through your list and assign a budget. If you know you want to spend $100 on teenaged Suzy and $15 on Uncle Tony, you will be able to see if your total budget is realistic. Don&#8217;t [...]
