At Simple Savings we dont like saving money to be hard
or tedious. We like it to be easy and fun even if you have
a LOT to save! No matter your goal; whether youre saving
for a holiday or new TV, or aiming to be debt free, when it
comes to saving money you want to see results for your
eforts. THE FASTER, THE BETTER!
This year is all about achieving those results. Simple
Savings has been helping people slash debt and
accomplish their dreams for over a decade. We know
what works and this calendar is a fantastic tool to help you
succeed. Each month you will fnd a diferent challenge
a new way to save. These 12 challenges have been
specifcally chosen because they will help you to make
some BIG savings FAST.
HERES HOW WERE GOING TO DO IT:
We will be starting January by setting goals and getting
a budget together, then roaring into top savings gear
in February with a No Spend month. March is all about
getting a better deal and in April were going to show you
how to slash your food bill to an all-time low. In May we
all get to enjoy a little low-cost luxury and in June were
bringing back some good old fashioned skills. July is full
steam ahead with PowerCooking and in August were
getting out in the garden to grow our own food. Spring
is all about decluttering and chemical-free cleaning in
September and October and in November were making
some big savings close to home with Buy Local month.
To fnish the year of in December, were going to help you
enjoy the most low-cost, low-stress Christmas ever!
