    Hi, I love your budgeting a saving money ideas. I just want to point out that you should have kept your Keurig. Keurig has reusable pods to fit their machines. All you do is purchase your bags of ground or instant coffee, place tablespoon or two in the reusable pod and place it in the machine just as you would the regular ones. They are only about $5. you can find it in the Keurig section of any store, and in the coffee section in grocery stores. Also, if you use bottled water in your Keurig, you don’t have to use the filter that comes with the machine. I was told this by Keurig CS. The bottled water is already filtered, so you are filtering the water twice when you use the Keurig filter.

    Dear Kumiko,

    We have been using the sinking fund cash envelope system this year and I have to share a story with you. We usually paid our property taxes with our debt card, but this year I made it a point to be able to pay our tax bill in cash. Well, I hit the amount goal and sent hubs in to pay it, the women were so impressed that he used cash and the change down to the last penny. He told them he could not take credit for the cash envelope money but that his wife was the one who used her “sinking fund” to make sure we had the money come tax time! They thought the idea was pretty awesome and told my husband that I got a gold star for being so smart! I have you and your system to thank for this. Thank you Again for all of the great advice and great ideas you share with us everyday!!! Merry Christmas!

    Great tips, thanks!

    2. I bought a 3-pack of the balls from amazon for $12 but then found the 2-packs at Walmart for $5. They work great and I love how things dry faster. Now that it’s winter, I have noticed they do not help with static though…working to find a solution for that. As an added bonus, you can add essential oils if you want to scent your laundry.

    5. Love my reusable shopping bags. I was buying them for a while but found that many organizations give them away as swag at job fairs, festivals, etc. Many businesses give them away if you sign up for text or email promotions too…

    Thanks again, loved this post!

    Great, I am from Australia sitting outside after blistering heat (46celcious) and your ideas great but searched Google for alternative products. Have a great Xmas.

  6. I live in Mexico but another thing i do to help with reusable products and save some pesos because of it… its a no brainer. First, i use refillable/returnable 2 liter coca cola bottles and the same with beer bottles. We save money and reuse of the bottles make an impact with my eco footprint.

    There is another money saving idea…but I must warn you that you should brace yourself. They are…cloth (reusable) pads/tampons. I know it sounds gross but they work well and you will definitely save a TON of money. I’ve been using them for about 5 years now and I am so happy that I incorporated it in my lifestyle.
