For the past 31 days, as part of the Nester’s challenge, I wrote about different ways to save simply. I wanted to remind us all that saving doesn’t have to be complicated. There are opportunities to save around us daily. We simply have to seek out the savings.

I wanted to compile all 31 days of my tips and saving suggestions in one place. To those of you who followed along faithfully throughout the series, thank you! To those of you who are just discovering this list, I hope you will be encouraged that there are countless simple ways to save money.

Some of these ideas will add up to more savings than others, but every idea on this list will help you save money!

  2. Save junk mail envelopes.
  3. Print on scratch paper.
  4. Use cereal bags for waxed paper.
