An approach for a person
seeking ways to save money is this:
Think about what it is you want or need.
What is it? Can you substitute
something in its stead? Can you find it
for less? Or can you just do it
yourself? Brainstorm by yourself or with
someone else. Often there is a solution
that will not cost money. Try it.
My son’s dog needed a collar
so he could carry his IDs and license on
the collar. He told me what he
needed. I went to a place where I keep
all my belts, most of them leather. I
found one that no longer fit me-no comments, please-and took it outside. I tried it on the dog’s neck to get a good fit.
With a hammer and a large nail I several
made holes in the belt and then trimmed it.
My, but that white and black spotted dog looks good with that red
collar! Another savings for this family.
