Here are my favorite recent posts from the members of the Wealth, Money & Life Network.

Dividends 4 Life shows us how to save money by giving the Gift Of Nothing . Now I must say I was a bit disturbed as I read the first sentence because I thought this guy was being WAAAAY too cheap…but then I realized what he was talking about.

Dollar Frugal shows us how she Did Not Save $80 On Insurance . This reminds me of the time I ended up Switching To Geico to save money on my car insurance . It sounded a bit cliche but I tried them and really did get a better deal, but I almost missed out on it because I thought Geico was just a gimmick.

I am always talking about how to save money so I thought I would talk about my Emergency Fund here for a little bit. You hear personal finance bloggers talking about the Emergency Fund all the time and in some cases it sounds very complicated.

In reality it is really easy to set up and maintain an Emergency Fund and once you get it started it requires very little effort on your part.

In my quest to save money I like to think of some little things I can do to conserve every day. This might not be a big deal to everyone but it helps me to think that I am making a difference.

When I have to use the ATM, which is not often because I do not carry cash that much, I never get a receipt . I always use the option that says not to get a receipt because quite frankly I do not need it. I balance my checkbook every day and I always know what is in my bank account at any given time.

By not getting a receipt I am saving on the paper that would need to be printed off and let’s face it I would be throwing the paper receipt away as soon as I entered the figures in Money anyway.

If we all start using the option to not get a receipt at the ATM it would slowly add up over time.
So save paper, save money and save the Earth too . Don’t get a receipt from the ATM.

What do you think?

I have been thinking about the ways I need to save money and I realize that I splurge when it comes to lotion and use Palmer’s Cocoa Butter…which is more expensive than some stuff that you can get most places.

I know it is not the cheapest lotion that you can buy but I like to use quality stuff on my sensitive skin . I know that I need to save money wherever I can so I started thinking about how I could save money while still enjoying my favorite body lotion.

I just LOVE how I can save money by getting free stuff. You too can save money on stuff by ordering a free sample of Kashi Granola cereal .

Now before you go rolling your eyes about it being granola and being too healthy I must tell you that this cereal tastes GREAT.

I was a bit skeptical when I first tried it but it tastes really good. I have only tried the cranberry one so I have no idea what the other flavors taste like, but based on what I tried they should all be good.

I could save more money if I chose to walk to Walmart. Well that is what my mother suggested to me recently because the WalMart is one mile from where I live.

Now I have not taken her advice yet for two main reasons:

I am still recovering from my surgery

WalMart is on a very busy street

These are the two things that are really keeping me from walking to the store to get the things I need. When I really think about it, walking to the store would actually be a good idea for me because I could get my exercise in AND save money by not making that short drive.
