I love magazines. They are mini up-to-date books of essential info in small sound bites! How’s that for a definition? Real Simple is a favorite, it fills two requirements: it’s fancy and budget-minded.
At the blogging conference I went to over the weekend, I got my money-saving hands on the April issue and I absolutely love it, and knew my readers would to, hence this post!
This is a clipping issue, i.e. clip the article and save for reference!

- Drink a lot of sparkling water? Invest in a SodaStream kit, it will save you over $300 a year.
- Switching to rechargeable batteries will save you $14 a year.
- Fill your car with the right level octane gas, check your manual and save over $200 a year.
