How to save money in todays economy?

I was talkimg to my Aunt yesturday and after our conversation I realized in the past year I have come up with so many way to save money that your family can take advantages of. Maybe mom doesn't have to work anymore if you try some of these money saving ideas.

WAYS TO SAVE ON FOOD:

>you should buy in bulk. There are several bulk store.(SAMS, BJ, Costcos) you spend more up front but you save tons later. here a few examples.
Penne' noodles are 2 or 3 bucks for a 2 pound box at the regular store but if you get it from a bulk store it cost 5 or 6 bucks and you get 6 or 7- 2 pound bags. So do you want to spend 6 bucks or 12 to 18 bucks in the long run. This will lat you a couple months too. You save 6 to 12 dollars.
Frozen Pizza a the reguler store cost 6 to 7 bucks a pizza but if you go to bulk store you get 3 pizzas for 12 bucks. so do you want to spend 18 to 21 bucks or do you want to spend 12 bucks. This wil save you 6 to 9 dollars. Not to mention what you have saved from not ordering delivery Pizza.
Chicken at the regular stor you spend $12 for 6 small chicken breast that can feed a family of four 1 time or you can get a bulk of chicken that has 6 to 9 big pieces that can feed a family of four 3 to 9 times depending on what you make. You $12 for each extra meal.
Rice is $2 for a 2 pound bag that $25 for 25 pounds.At th bulk store its $10 for a $25 bag. Thats a $15 savings.

Now that you have saved about $50 you can take me out to eat. HAHA!!!

There are several other food saving that way but let me move on...

Next your bills..

RENT>>>>> are you a family of 4 living in a 5 bedroom spending $2200 dollar or more on a roof over your head.... whats wrong with you you don't need that much space... move into a 3 bedroom house that cost half the money. Then you moms can really see what your teenagers are up to and they wont need those cell phone to call you on the other side of the house. ( but that another issues about parenting so I will stick to money issues) ok now you have save $1000 dollars on living and $100 bucks on cell phone.

Electricity>>>>> pay your bill on time save yourself the $15 dollar a month electric bill.. when you move to your smaller house you will save $100 to $200 on electricity. Turn lights off Open Windows.get out of your house and do outside activities. These are ways to save nickles and dime on your electric bill but they add up. also big TV eat up electricity even when you aren,t using them and with the money you save buy swithing to a smaller TV you can afford to get a deep freezer to hold your bulk food in.

Cable>>>> do you really need all the channels. Save some money only get the basics. If theres a show you like to watch that is on a paid channel only get that channel and then cancel it when the series ends. Get it in a bulk combination with your phone andinternet it will save you on all bills.

Phone>>>> if you are a long distance caller you need a company that gives you a plan with unlimited long distance. its a big saver trust me.. get it with you cable it cheaper that way to.

ok now on to the kids

there clothes>>> thrift store shop kids love and you save hundreds on shoping and also when you get them a brand new outfit for there birthday they appriciate it more.
Daycare>>>>> don't send them ytoull save 1 or 2 hundred dollrs a week.

Ok Now on to GAS
fill up your tank each time.STOP put $5 to $10 bucks in. You spend more up front but let me show you a break down. if you put $10 dollars 50 miles out of it. after doing that 4 times you have spent $40 and got 200 miles out of that or you can spend $40 in the first place and fill your tank and get 400 miles out of it. Do this and you save you self $40 in thew long run.

Ok I have several more things but try these for starters. MOM CAN STAY HOME NOW>
