Set A Monthly Budget

Having a budget is the number one tip for all parents. Knowing what is coming in and go-

ing out each month can be a real eye opener. You never want to spend more than what

you make. In fact, spending less so you can save is ideal.

Pay Your Credit Card Debt

If you have credit card debt, don't wait to pay it, Interest accumulates quickly and, with

average interest rates in the mid-teens, every £1,000 of credit card debt could cost you

£150 or more per year.

To reduce interest expenses and expedite the process of getting out of debt, consider us-

ing a 0% APR balance transfer credit card. First, estimate your potential savings with a bal-

ance transfer calculator. Then, if you discover a savings opportunity, compare offers and

seek out credit cards with low fees and long introductory periods.

Prepare Your Own Food

Simple, fresh healthy meals are the most budget friendly. Avoid eating out, bag your lunch

for work, and stay away from making a stop for coffee every morning. If a new baby is only

slightly breaking the budget, cutting out £10 lunches and £2 cups of coffee can restore

balance to your finances.

Use Hand-Me-Downs

Share kids clothes with friends and family when you can. This can be a huge means of

saving money and ensuring you have enough clothes available to prevent the washing

machine from running on a 24-hour cycle.

Buy Second Hand

Check out garage sales and your local Craigslist especially for items you won't be using a

long time. You can usually find great deals on bikes, sports equipment, baby gear, and

especially toys.

Shop Sales

When you can't buy second hand, make sure you shop the sales. Buying your clothing at

the end of the season for the following year when possible can be a huge cost savings. Just

make sure you account for how much your baby will grow and buy age-appropriate sizes.

Grocery Shop With A List

Never head to the grocery store without a list. It is best to meal plan before you go so that

you know what it is that you need to purchase. Clipping coupons and shopping the sale

items is another great way to save.

Shop Your Local Farmer's Market

Another way to save on your food bill is to shop locally for what is in season. Your local

farmer's market or CSA may offer great prices for fresh local produce which not only saves

you money but also has the added bonus of being healthier.

Don't Purchase Every New Toy

Your kids may beg you for the newest and greatest toys, video games, etc. Learn when to

say no. Most kids today have so many games and toys that they really don't know what to

play with next. Keep it simple and let your kids use their own creativity instead of spend-

ing money on expensive toys.

Use Your Local Library

Your local library can be a great resource and it is free. In many places, you can also bor-

row magazines, music, movies and more. Borrow books and see what your child likes,

then go to Amazon and get his favourites used.
