Saving Money at the Library
We all know that using the library is a great way to save money — from free Internet access to a huge assortment of books, movies, music and more. But there are certainly other resources out there to help you make the most of your hard-earned dollars. Here are a few of the best online resources we’ve discovered:
Grand Rapids Tightwad
A native Grand Rapidian and mom shares her stories and advice on how to live frugally — and well. Be sure to check out her other blog, Saved From Waste (and take a look at this cool Grand Rapids Press article).
The Frugalist
A blog featuring tips on hundreds of ways to save money, from washing your clothes in cold water to… using the library?
The Cheapskate Guide: 50 Tips for Frugal Living
A list of 50 ways to save money from ZenHabits, a popular self-improvement website.
SearchAllDeals.com
A handy site for finding the best deals on the Internet. Search for electronics, groceries, coupons and more.
And if you’re looking for a great (and free) way to keep track of your budget, check out Mint.com, an easy to use online system that syncs with data from a number of financial institutions.
Have fun — on a budget.
