Money Saving Tips For Single Mothers

Do you have a system for bills and account statements? This could help you to track your finances, pay bills on time, stay within budget, and alert you to questionable charges.

Do you take notes when you're on the phone with a customer service rep? This could help you to resolve discrepancies and achieve faster results on similar issues in the future.

Do you have a junk drawer or closet? Cleaning it out can help you to avoid buying what you already have.

Do you keep up with product warranties/receipts? Keeping them in a safe place will ensure mfg/store replacement, instead of buying a new one.

Disorder is the culprit of my waste. The examples above are just a few mistakes I've made this year alone. If I added them all up, I could have probably saved $1,000 or more.

Think long term and think real savings...get organized!
