Freezing Eggs & Other Money Saving Ideas

By Manuela Williams

I’m always looking for ideas that will help me stretch my dollars. So yesterday I spent a little time searching the internet for useful tips and came across some sites with good money saving tips that I thought you might enjoy checking out.  Maybe there’s something new that you haven’t thought of doing yet!

I know I’ve never thought of freezing eggs when I find a good deal on them.  I will from now on!

How to Freeze Eggs from the Thrifty Couple

Blissful & Domestic shares how she cut her grocery budget in half by meal planning and making food from scratch.

The Peaceful Mom has an interesting 30 post series called Living On Less Than $28,000 A Year  that I read through and found some good ideas and things to think about.  She also has Financial Updates where she shares about her family finances.

The Budget Diet has a post on how to Cut Your Spending by $400 A Month. Most of the things she listed I already do but maybe some ideas would be new to you. As usual, I find the comments by readers most interesting.

The manliness of frugality is explored by The Art of Manliness – the post is 80 Frugal Tips to Save Money and are really good tips for everyone 🙂

More Frugal Tips

*Many fresh foods can be frozen – so buy in bulk and on sale – use that deep freeze!*

*Find one way to save every day – big or small – everyone can do one thing every day that will save them money. It all adds up in the end*

*Find a way to make some extra money – declutter and sell your stuff at a garage sale, ebay, Facebook etc”*

*Find creative ways to re-use & re-purpose things instead of buying new*

“Be thankful for ALL you have!  Saves a ton instead of shopping for MORE!”

Something worth remembering!

    I tried freezing eggs once but the consistency was not good — perhaps because I did not add the salt or sugar that the Thrifty Couple post recommends. I’ll have to give it another try with their instructions.

    My #1 saving money tip is — don’t go to Target! Because there is ALWAYS something there that you need, but don’t need.

    I’ll definitely check out the posts you have linked — between college-girl expenses, and medical and dental expenses on this end, along with outrageous gas and food bills — we need all the help we can get. I hope your ads help relieve a bit of the financial pressure. I’m teaching a homeschool class for a bunch of teens in my home this semester, which has helped some.

      LOL! I know that is so true about Target! I used to shop there once a week but stopped after I realized that I always left with more than what was on my list. Now I go once a month and do my best to stick to my list. I don’t always make it but at least it’s only once a month now instead of once a week!

    Thanks for the links. I will check them out for sure. I’m that way about Walmart. It is on our way into town and just too easy to stop in for one thing and it’s never just one thing!

    Best wishes with your new ads! I also decided I needed to monetize if I was going to keep blogging. It really does take a lot of time away from other responsibilities!

    Thanks for posting these new blog sites. I am always looking for ways to save. I have set some new goals this year and need all of the ideas I can get. Would love for you to share some of the things you do to save at Christmas.We have a large combined family and its always challenging to get through this time of year. Love your blog!

    Though I’d prefer a Blogdom without ads, in this economy one can not begrudge a gal for going that route. No worries there. I just won’t look!

    Off to see how to freeze eggs…

    I had no idea you could freeze eggs! I’m not so sure I could trust that, but I’ll have to read what the Thrift Couple has to say. Some of the links you posted look interesting and I’ll have to check them out.

    To Diana’s comment above, friends and I used to go to the mall and to Walmart for entertainment. As soon as I made the decision to stop doing that I hardly saw those friends anymore. Now I only go to Walmart when I actually need something,

    Good luck with the ads on your blog.

    Thank you for the great information. My sweetheart just retired last Friday and we are beginning to live on a ‘fixed’ income – no more overtime or special projects. But way more time to do things together we haven’t had time to do. House projects and fun things and time with grandkids and friends!

    First of all – Your blog so you do what you want, and the ads won’t stop me from reading your posts. . I have thought about ads also, but I don’t think I am a real dedicated blogger/to sporadic in posting, etc. – may still change my mind later. Have heard about freezing eggs, but never looked into it before as I don’t have them in the house often due to my cholesterol issues. Would love a plate of scrambled eggs,several strips of thin crispy bacon and toast with homemade jam – Yum! Ok – back to reality. 😀
    Thanks for stopping by and nice comment. He is a beautiful baby. 🙂
    Have a great week.

    Hi, I am glad you put the ads on and I hope they help you significantly!

    and the egg tip is a great one, and one I have never heard for before. That would be really nice to have extra eggs put away for all our extra company when I can’t get to the store.

    Thanks so much for mentioning my article, “Cut Your Spending by $400 a Month.” It’s the most popular article on my blog because it proves that a few small changes really can add up to substantial savings. Love your blog, and I love your take on life…”bloom where you are planted.”

    With a wedding to pay for in December, saving money and being frugal is becoming crucial, not to mention stressful. I love all of your ideas and tips you have shared recently. Plan to spend time going through all your links this morning.

    Manuela, having ads on our blogs is almost mandatory these days, with prices what they are and the economy what it is. We should be compensated for our work. And you do good posts!

    Thanks for the tips:) I am always looking for ways to save some $$ ! Have a blessed week dear friend, HUGS!

    The ads on your blog are a small price to pay for the privilege of sharing your home and good ideas for decorating, gardening and more. The only thing that is a total turn off to me on blogs is when a video starts playing automatically–noise is much worse than pictures imo.

    I do not have a blog…but do read many. In this economy and having a college age kid and two before this one…maybe I should’ve started my own blog. Oh, well..good luck..I will continue to check in on your blog. Hope to see more “goodwill” ideas. Keep up the good work! Oh..check out couponing at your local drugstores..via…the krazycouponlady…I have saved hundreds!!!!, and provided for four households..no more paying for toothpaste, and other things..just some FYI.

    Don’t even think of apologizing for the ads!
    I hope they supplement your income nicely 🙂

    Just at the right time, some more money saving ideas! I need all the help I can get. I’m going to check ou the links so thanks!

    I will be retiring soon so I will check out the savings ideas.

    I don’t understand how the ads work on blogs. Do you get paid if I click on the ads or only if I purchase something? Let me know what it is I can do to make blogging a paying venture for you.

      Unfortunately these are not page view ads you do have to interact with them 🙂 Thank you!

    Thank you so much for being so generous with your finds Manuela! I really appreciate you doing that. I am off to visit them all…especially the family living on 28,000 per year (been there…done that). I always find the most inspiration from those who are living in restricted circumstances…it’s kind of miraculous how those challenges inspire the most amazing creative solutions!
    Love,
    Tracey

    Hi, new fan here, I found you at Debra Jean’s Dandelion House! I felt exactly the same as you about ads in the sidebar until convinced otherwise.

    I’d like to invite you to join us at the Clever Chicks Blog Hop this week!
