Money Saving Ideas for Fall 2018

Meal prep, meal prep, meal prep!
Meal prepping is not only a great way to eat healthy but can also be great for cutting down on food costs. When you grocery shop this fall, go in with a plan! Find your favorite fall recipes ahead of time and make a list of the ingredients you will need. Then, you can start out by planning your meals for the month. There are several slow cooker recipes out there that allow you to freeze the ingredients all together in a bag, then just thaw and throw into the slow cooker and you have dinner made effortlessly. Who doesn't love a good, hot slow cooker meal, such as a soup or pot roast in the fall!?

Organize your closet.
With those colder temperatures arriving, it can be so tempting to go out and buy a new fall wardrobe, but you may be surprised what you can find in your own closet. Organize your clothes and pull out all your fall/winter clothes from last year. It can be very easy to forget about these items, but you can mix and match old items to create new outfits, thus saving money by not buying new clothes.

Fall sales are your friend.
While the fall holidays are exciting, such as Halloween and Thanksgiving, there's another couple of days that are also very nice - Black Friday and Cyber Monday!!! These two days are where you should focus on doing your fall shopping and Christmas shopping. Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving, although many stores have opened up the day of Thanksgiving with amazing sales. Cyber Monday is the Monday after Thanksgiving and is for all you online shoppers! Many people have started to only shop online and bypassed the crowds on Black Friday. Either way, these are two huge money saving days!
