From blog sponsors to friends, when I tell people I’m “on a budget”, they seem to think it’s just for fun, or just happens to be my blog niche. Unfortunately, while my family is well provided for, I can’t afford not to be frugal. There are a lot of things that we do to save money in our household. Some are harder and some are ‘crunchier’ than others. This list is a few of the easiest, more mainstream ways that you can save money for your family.
1. Keep an eye out for coupons
I don’t extreme coupon because the majority of items you can buy for pennies are crap. Yes, I do sometimes buy $3 shampoo or $1 dog food between paychecks, but I would never stockpile low-quality items. Safe & healthy food & beauty products are worth paying full price for, even if you have to cut money from your budget in other places. My husband Donny does the majority of our household shopping and he does clip things like Walgreens and Sears coupons. Clipping coupons is an obvious way to cut costs, but our biggest savings come from in-store coupons. Sebastian loves to help us grab the ones you find in the grocery aisles, many of which are good for healthy, organic items. Having a rewards or club card where you shop can also result in dramatic savings over time, and many of those programs will give you cents off the gallon on gas as well.

Luminaze age spot corrector helps correct uneven skin tone and blotchiness by breaking down melanin in the skin. Although it is clinically proven to reduce dark spots better than the leading prescription ingredient, Luminaze is gentle enough to use everyday. The active enzyme is harvested from Swiss mushrooms that were shown to have a lightening effect on tree park. This new formula guarantees a reduction of dark spots and a more even skin tone within just the first week of use.
Luminaze was recently featured in Hello Canada. It is available for purchase at Nordstrom in the United States and and throughout the Bay stores in Canada.

Tanda Skincare offers an acne light treatment that uses blue light technology to rid skin of blemishes. I have yet to try this product, but it is definitely something that I would be interested in. I have yet to find a completely effective acne treatment that is entirely safe. Tanning does wonders for the appearance of my skin but obviously comes with skin cancer risks. As you can see in the chart, topical applications as well as drugs like Accutane can have some pretty serious side effects. Acne can wreck one’s self-esteem and anything that treats it successfully is worth the investment — Plus, how awesome-looking is Tanda’s little device!
