Thrifty Tartinis

I have found the best thing since sliced, thrift bakery bread. The Economides Family! (Great name right?) Reading this book has gotten me all fired up for saving money. They talk about how to get out of debt, and they have a bunch of money saving ideas. It's like Dave Ramsey and Amy Dacyczyn had a baby, and they baby was an entire frugal family! I just started reading it on Saturday, and it saved me $50 so far! One of the topics it covers is auto insurance, and they say to get rid of medical expense insurance if you have your own, good health insurance. Turns out our policy DID include that from our BYU-I insurance days, so we were able to take it off, for $50 a year; I love saving money :) Another idea for saving on food that I like; when bagged produce is cheaper than "bag it yourself" produce, weigh a bunch of bags. They sell them by a certain poundage, but not every bag is exactly 3, 5 or whatever lbs. Some weigh a little more, and some a little less. Anyway, there's my spiel for the day; it was just too good not to share!
