Bulging Budgets


1. Repeat info: Phone credit card company to ask for a better rate, often, every month. Sooner or later you will get a break. No harm in letting them know you are considering transferring any balance to another company.

2. Clean out closets. Clothing is cheap these days but still welcome at "Consignment Shops" who are going strong. 

3. Buy video games with replay value – and don’t acquire new ones until you’ve mastered all those you have. Then trade with friends whenever possible.

4. Make several easy-to-prepare and freeze casseroles dishes at one time. At the end of a busy just reheat, saving many restaurant dollars plus hours of time. You're more likely to get healthier foods too.
