Humming bird

Hummingbird fly You may reach the sky Flitter and flow Going high and then low Dodging to and fro Buzzing and gliding You’re often seen yellow, red, purple and emerald green scales reflecting light and shiny Oh, so delicate and tiny This poem is not to be copied or reproduced in any form.

Winter Time

Children frolic, sled and make snow men Snowballs piled in groups of ten A white landscape stretched across the land Children building forts across the snow band Girls gliding across the snow and ice rink Boys testing the lake hoping not to sink Snowball fights and long winter nights Wearing winter coats, hats and mittens…

What are some great ways that you can save money? I feel shopping at Walmart for groceries is a great way to save. Another way to save money is to use coupons or discount cards. In addition, shopping at thrift stores for clothing or Thead-up can save you a ton of money. Keeping a older car instead of buying a new one and just doing routine care on the care can save you a ton of money. If you are 55 and older taking advantage of the meals for seniors is a great way to save money. I’m always looking for ways to save money. We have been mostly a single income family although I have worked a bit. Staying home to raise kids allowed me to save money on childcare and being there for my kids when they were sick allowed my husband to focus solely on his career. Another interesting thing that I found is that using Dryel to do your dry cleaning in the dryer can save you a ton of money.

Packing lunches to take to work instead of eating out can save you a ton of money. Ride sharing to work or telecommuting can save you money on gas and time. Sending your kids to a community college can save you a lot of money. Shopping at Old Navy which often has deals on clothing or if a member of your family was military you can get a discount each time at Boscovs. Boscovs also offers great deals to those of us who don’t have a military discount.

When shopping for meats it’s good to buy family packs that way you can save a lot of money on groceries. I have found that Wegmans offers some great deals on family packages of meats. Most people think that Wegmans is pricy but, only if you buy the extra stuff and not stick to the deals. I have also found that shopping at Amazon for certain things can save you a lot of money. You need to comparison shop for the best deals. Buying furniture at certain times of the year will allow you to save a lot. What are some ways that you save money for your family?
