Recession Busters: Saving Money in This Recession (Introduction)
We see and hear it everywhere we go: people losing their jobs, economic headlines screaming of tough times, and people wondering HOW to pay their mounting bills with less money on hand and less in earnings on the horizon. There’s no time like now to follow some simple steps to save money in this recession!
We feel the pain too, so Lipstick Wisdom searched far and wide on the web to find the best and easiest ideas on how to save you money on everyday purchases like groceries and gasoline to bigger buys like auto insurance and energy. We have assembled a list of videos that show you how “pinching your pennies” can add up to saving you hundreds, even thousands of dollars a year! Yes, it involves the obvious like clipping coupons and shopping at discount stores, but there are also some not so obvious ideas that could save you a small fortune.
With more people unemployed than any time since 1994, these Recession Busters are worth watching to get you thinking and saving as much money as possible. Frugal is in and likely will be for many months, if not years, to come. This recession will take years for us to recover from, so the sooner we can cut costs, the better.
Please share your Recession Buster tips with us so we can pass them along to help others and thanks for visiting!

Karen..the plight of our economy has sent many to re-think everything they spend money on. At least I hope it is. When we say “our spending” we sometimes get the false impression we are referring to our “pleasure” purchases. However, we need to re-evaluate our electric usage, gas usage, insurances etc. (the mundane common paycheck busters) as well as our pleasure items; like vacations, new cars, lots of clothing, shoes etc. At every corner is lurking a “Potential Budget Thief” so we need to be on-guard as well as doing our part to tighten our spending by looking, reviewing and choosing what is best for us that will put some dollars back into our budgets. A dollar a day is still significant, it equals $352 a year….not bad. Just my .02 cents worth….
