Pinching Pennies for the Big Day

Bret and I are in save mode! We have 13 months until are wedding day, and we realized that we are FAR from where we need to be in savings. The problem is we spend what we make, so we haven't done a good job of adjusting to my job. But the spending stops here! Here are a few ways we plan on saving money.

Using Fewer Disposable Goods

Use fewer paper towels, plastic water bottles, etc.

Spend Less on Services

Instead of spending $50 on a haircut, visit the local hair academy and get it done for $12. Inexpensive alternatives can be used for other services, including mani/pedis, eyebrow waxing, food (cook rather than dine at a restaurant), magazine subscriptions, etc.

  

Pack a Lunch, Snack and Beverage
Rather than spending money at a restaurant, convenience store or vending machine, buy these during your normal grocery trip and then pack them each day for work.
