Saving Money
By Carrie | 1 Comment
I’d like to point out an excellent resource for couponing and saving money on groceries/toiletries: Money Saving Mom. This website also has tips on working from home.
Remember, if cash is tight there are two ways to help. Either increase the cash inflow (new job, second job) or decrease the cash outflow (or do both). Often, decreasing the cash outflow is a more successful endeavor for the stay-at-home mom who has limited time to devote to work-at-home opportunites.

Saving on Electricity
By Carrie | 1 Comment
About two months ago I decided to see if I could get my electricity bill down.
One of the biggest changes I made was with our computers. We have a desktop and a laptop and both computers were left on all the time though they were in standby mode (which is less energy consumption than being fully powered on). This was a matter of convenience which allowed us to jump on the computer at any time. But the fact was, for many, many hours the computers were not used which was a waste of energy.

Lowering Cable/Phone/Internet Bill
By Carrie | Comments Off
I got this idea from another website and it worked.
We have a combined phone/internet/cable package through Verizon. The prices seem to have slowly crept up since the the initial starting package which is easy to just ignore. However, this is an area where you can use competition to your advantage.
I noticed that another company in our area offered the same type of package for about $30 less than what we are currently paying. So, I called Verizon and mentioned the competitor’s package and asked if I could get a discount on my current plan. Verizon agreed to offer me a 1 year promotion which saved me about $30 per month.

If you are unfamiliar with Crown Financial Ministries, I encourage you to visit their website and look around. There is alot of great financial wisdom floating around the internet, but Crown’s kingdom mentality makes it a winner for Christians. Just look at their mission statement:
Equipping people worldwide to learn, apply,and teach God’s financial principles so they may know Christ more intimately, be free to serve Him, and help fund the Great Commission.
