Ask the Readers: Do You Grow Your Own Food?

Ashley Jacobs — Tue, 14 May 2013 10:36:33 +0000

Editor's Note: Congratulations to Alissa, Therese, and Mary for winning this week's contest!

Growing your own food can be a very rewarding activity in many ways, from watching the fruits of your labor grow day by day to enjoying the actual fruits (and vegetables!) harvested fresh from your garden. You'll trim your grocery expenses over time, and if you join a co-op or community garden, you'll even expand your social circle!

Of course, it may take some time, labor, and upfront costs to get a garden planted and flourishing. While it's useful to have your own food garden, it might not fit some people's lifestyle.

Do you grow your own food? Where do you grow them? Have some crops been more successful than others? What issues have you come across, and how did you solve them? If you don't grow your own food, would you like to? What would you grow?

Tell us whether you grow your own food and we'll enter you in a drawing to win a $20 Amazon Gift Card!

Ask the Readers: What Do You Buy in Bulk?

Ashley Jacobs — Tue, 07 May 2013 10:36:33 +0000

Editor's Note: Congratulations to Kristina, Maria, and Jillian for winning this week's contest!

Buying in bulk can be a great way to save money if you have a large household, but even small families and singletons can make it work by sharing the cost and goods with other families or friends. But beware! If the cost per unit doesn't check out, or you don't have the space to store it, or you won't actually use up all the goods before they go bad, bulk buying can be a deadly budgeting — or hoarding — trap.

What do you buy in bulk? What common bulk product do you NOT buy in bulk? Do you split bulk purchases with others? What strategies do you use to save even more when you buy in bulk?

Tell us about your bulk purchases and we'll enter you in a drawing to win a $20 Amazon Gift Card!

Editor's Note: Congratulations to Rebecca, Karen, and Debra for winning this week's contest!

Ashley Jacobs — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 11:36:31 +0000

Editor's Note: Congratulations to Varun, Christie, and Elena for winning this week's contest!

Shopping at thrift stores is a great way to spend less on the things you don't mind buying used, like clothes and home furnishings. And if you're lucky, you might even find some hidden gems — vintage records or out-of-print books, anyone? Then again, not all thrift stores are stocked equally, and for some people, the nearest thrift store might still be too far away for regular trips.

Do you shop at thrift stores? What do you usually shop for, and have you ever found something you didn't expect? If you don't shop at thrift stores, why not?

Tell us whether you shop at thrift stores and we'll enter you in a drawing to win a $20 Amazon Gift Card!

Editor's Note: Congratulations to Kelli, Lynda, and Louly for winning this week's contest!

From car maintenance to home decor to pantry staples, DIY can be a great way to save money on services and products that you use in your everyday life. While some projects are easy for beginners to pick up, other projects are better left to professionals if you don't have the equipment, skills, or time to make it work.

What DIY projects do you do? Do you DIY to save money or simply because you enjoy the activity, or both? Has a project ever gone terribly wrong or surprisingly right? If you don't DIY, is there a project you'd like to learn?

Ashley Jacobs — Tue, 12 Feb 2013 11:36:31 +0000

Editor's Note: Congratulations to Kate, Sherry, and Monica for winning this week's contest!

In the world of savings, every little bit counts! Small, regular expenditures — like daily mid-afternoon lattes — will add up and can put a dent on your finances over time. Many people have chosen to cut their "latte factors" in exchange for the savings, but others don't mind the cost to enjoy these small luxuries.

What is your latte factor? Would you give it up for the savings? If you've already given something up, how much have you saved so far?
