Seven ways for saving money in a recession

When shopping for food, always check those per-ounce/unit labels for the best buy. Although it doesn’t make sense, sometimes a smaller size costs less per ounce. Go figure. Shop the store brands, grocery outlets, thrift bakeries and dollar-type stores. The extra time is worthwhile, if your goal is saving money in a recession. On a typical weekly shopping trip, you could save as much as $20 with this strategy. Watch your impulse buying!
3.Have you ever counted up the dollars you spend on home cleaning products? These items add up to a bundle. Did you know that you can make many of these products yourself, with simple, inexpensive ingredients, that do the job just as well? Check some of the homemaking websites for ‘recipes’. Think outside the box. For example, paper towels are quite expensive these days. Buy a pack of those reusable fabric weave cloths instead. You can toss them in the washer and use them many times over.
