Some things we did to make quick progress while reaching our debt payoff goals
We clipped coupons and learned how to get the things we needed for cheap, or sometimes, free. I would scour my friend Crystal’s Money Saving Mom site for deals. I also learned how to save tons of money on necessary toiletries and miscellaneous items (like toothpaste, toilet paper, etc) at CVS through her CVS 101 posts.
Sometimes, I would leave a store with several items we needed and after all my coupons and discounts were tallied, the cashier actually gave me money!
I also became HUGE on meal planning. That’s when I learned about helpful programs like emeals, which helped you choose budget friendly meals and gave you a shopping list you could take to the store.
Now they’ve expanded the emeals program even further; they’ll send your shopping list to WalMart for you and all you have to do is go pick it up! This really saves you time and money! No toting your toddlers into the store, and no impulse purchases, either. (They have a free offer here if you’d like to try them.)
One way to stay motivated while paying off debt
Sometimes it really helps to have a visual! That’s where this free debt thermometer printable is so helpful. By hanging it up in a high traffic area of your home, you can always have your debt payoff goal in front of you.
It’s a great reminder of where you’ve come from, the progress you’ve made, and where you’re headed!
