#FinancialTipFriday Make a grocery list to help keep you focused on what you need to buy instead of making impulse buys while in the store. A list can also help you save time by planning meals in advance so you know what you're going to cook during the week while also cutting down on the number of trips to the grocery store.
#FinancialTipFriday Buy Used. Besides buying cars used to get a better deal, purchasing other items like clothes, electronics, furniture, and video games can also save you money in the long run. When those items are still in good condition you can even donate them or sell them yourself for an additional financial boost.
#FinancialTipTuesday Cut out cable. Try using streaming services to watch your favorite shows, sports, or movies instead of cable, which can be a lot more expensive.

One way to save on Halloween is to buy your candy early, purchase generic brands, or even shopping online where you can often find better discounts than in stores.
Halloween is around the corner, and even though it's going to be a little different this year, that doesn't mean it can't still be fun. One way to save on Halloween is to make your own decorations. You can find easy project ideas on Pinterest, and getting kids involved is an added bonus.
Purchasing a pumpkin at a roadside produce stand or at a "you-pick-them" farm not only supports a local farmer, but will often get you a better deal than if you picked one up from the grocery store. Also remember not to carve your pumpkin until a few days before Halloween because once carved, the pumpkins can rot within a few days.
Halloween costumes can be quite costly. A way to save on your costume is to make your own based on items you already have. Going through your closets can unearth castoff clothes, jewelry, props from past costumes that can be remade into new ones, and other craft items. You can also save by buying "dress up" costumes from the toy section of stores instead of those in the Halloween isle. Masks can also be pricey, often the most costly part of a costume as well as dangerous for kids. Skipping them and using face paint instead is not only cheaper, but safer too.
