Are we ready?

I must say I am excited about this 21 day journey. Everytime I go to the book store I pick up the book and skimmed it. A friend of mine is going to pick the book up for me. She also gave me a good idea there were two events that I wanted to attend this month (two friends b-day dinners) and I was going to delay my dates to start because of this and she said; in January put the money aside for the events and you can start on time. So beginning February
8 - February 28; I am on this journey. I have also been searching the net for some helpful ways to save money (I enjoy the knowledge gained) and I'd like to share some of them with you. They helped me; I hope it can do the same for you.

1. Don't go to the movies - get movies from the RedBox for $1.
2. Drive slow and eliminate driving so much, decrease your number of trips -save on gas.
3. Skip getting your hair done every month and get it done every other - Can you do that? This is a new one for me as well; but I'm going to do it, I could save that $70 a month.
4. Don't pay for anything that you can do yourself (manicure, pedicure, car wash (I know its cold); but keep this in mind!
Those are a few; what are some of yours? It felt good to day to plan my meals for the next 6 months (1 year actually); I used my favorite restaurant recipes and decided I will not only curb my eating out (eliminate it entirely during the fast); but I will become a great cook. Also, I can have a eating out/recreation/allowance kitty that allows me to eat out I budgeted $80 per month from my salary and the monies I get from tutoring after I tithe it. So I have $100 a month for an allowance and I have to stay in that boundary; not bad!

I thank GOD for that revelation. Father, thank you for showing me how to live simply!

Please post some of your money saving ideas that would be helpful.
