Intro.

Cash, change, greenbacks, paper, green, capitol, moolah, bills, benjamins, lettuce, bread, and chips; there are so many ways to say money, but only one way to save. Knowledge is power, especially when dealing with the biggest tool in survival, money. Saving money is easy for some, but impossible for others, especially given the situation they may be in and what "needs" to be done. I work in the mall, and so I come across these "impulse buyers" all the time. Grabbing before thinking, then coming back few days later to return the items they recently purchased because they didnt think about how much they were using at the time; this is the way of the impulse buyer. There are simple steps to saving money that can be taken, even if you are one of those impulse buyers. One way is this: if a product just came out to the stores, for example a shirt or shoes, those items aren't going to be sold at full price for long. In the rapid moving market we live in now, nothing is new for more then a day or two. Before you know it the next best thing is out. Clothes are coming an going, especially if you have a big family and are buying clothes for multiple people. This can mean a lot of cash out the door. Buying clothes as the season ends saves a huge sum of money. Buying winter clothes as the spring time arrives is a great way to save money. Not only are you saving, you're are ready for the upcoming winter. You might not be sporting the latest trends, but you'll have more money to spend on other more important things!

  1. I like all of the terms for money. I've never heard of "lettuce" before...I wonder where that slang came from?

    Did you mean "those items aren't going to be full price for long"?
