Back To Basics: 10 Ways to Simplify
If you’ve been around long enough, you’ve probably realized by now that life seems to pick up speed and get more hectic as you get older. Responsibilities multiply and the load you shoulder never gets any lighter. You often feel like you’re at the very edge of your limits only to have them pushed a little further. And while you sometimes marvel at the amount you’re able to accomplish in a day, it just never seems to be enough. Not only that, but with inflation, everything you used to be able to afford has gotten more expensive. When did a cup of coffee start costing as much as a night out at the movies? And when did movies start costing as much as your dry-cleaning bill? It’s enough to make anyone crazy! So how do you get back to that hazy memory of a time when life was easy and filling your gas tank without taking a second mortgage was not entirely outside the realm of possibility? Simple. Just simplify (and save)!
Go ride a bike. If your morning commute isn’t too far, get in a little mood-boosting exercise on your way to work. Or if it’s a long way off, eschew hours in traffic in favor of public transportation; sip on coffee and read the paper while someone else honks in frustration.
Brown bag it. A homemade lunch is both healthy and cost-effective, so stock up on your favorite meats and cheeses, go for some multi-grain bread, and throw in a couple different kinds of fruit for morning and afternoon snacks to keep you going without a trip to the vending machine.
Hit the park. If staring at a screen all day is driving you nuts and you can’t afford to work it out with a little retail therapy, consider an afternoon in the park as a free alternative. Plant your feet in the grass and stop to smell the roses for awhile. Remember that the best things in life really are free.
Take a nap. Kids have the right idea. Around the middle of the afternoon, our bodies and brains need a rest. So if you can swing a siesta (or even take 15 minutes to lay your head on a desk), you will get a boost of energy to keep you going until the end of the day (instead of a double espresso, which will make you manic for an hour and then lead to a crash).
Read a book. Save on electricity and transport yourself to another world for awhile by turning off the TV and tuning in to literature. With a library card, you can access the latest bestsellers without the hefty prices that retailers charge.
Get a massage. Just so you know, this does not have to be an expensive outing. Chances are good that if you’re stressed, your significant other is feeling the same way. So look online for some tips on massage and try them out on each other for a free way to relax and get intimate.
Salvage friendships. Time is essential to any relationship, and if you’re busy, you’ve probably been neglecting yours, so call up old friends and throw a potluck. You’ll catch up with everyone and save on a pricey dinner out. Plus, talking to friends is a lot better than paying for an impersonal therapy session.
Go camping. Forget the ridiculously expensive summer vacay to a tropical island or bustling metropolitan center (both pricey and stressful). Opt instead for the natural beauty of your local surroundings and a trip free of hotel, transportation, and fast food nightmares.
Ditch the DVR (and the cable, while you’re at it). Despite what everyone says, you don’t NEED these things. They are sapping your savings and your will to live! Spend some time playing board games or reading books with your family instead of sitting in front of the tube. Or if you just have to watch the latest episode of your favorite show, see if it’s available online, or wait for the box set to come out and rent the whole season.
Do nothing. Remember those lazy days of childhood boredom that you thought would never pass? Now you wish you had them back. Lucky for you, they’re easy enough to attain. Simply clear your calendar for the day and stay home. Unplug the phone, leave the laundry for tomorrow, and forget about the fix-it projects (they can wait a little longer). Just enjoy the fact that you have absolutely nothing to do for an entire day.

How To Save 70% on Baby’s First Year Gear by Laura K. Cowan
When I decided to stay home with my baby girl, I started looking for ways to save money to offset my lost income, and BabyCenter.com’s $10,000 estimated cost for her first year gear just was not going to work in my budget. Besides, my parents only seemed to have the most basic baby gear for me, so what “essentials” could possibly add up to ten grand? As a self-proclaimed minimalist, I thought I could beat the system by avoiding most baby gear altogether.
Well, surprise! It turns out I love my baby gear, but through a LOT of research I did discover a variety of ways to collect whatever baby gear items I wanted without paying retail for them—in some cases without paying for them at all! In the end, I saved 70% off that intimidating $10k figure. How? I’ll give you an overview in this post. If you want more specific info, check out the Ecofrugal Fridays segment on 29Diapers.com, which covers baby gear money-saving tips one category at a time, including how to save the most money possible on your baby’s wardrobe (I paid negative 57 cents for an entire year’s worth of clothes) or how to save 85% off organic baby food.
One of the best ways to get started saving money on baby gear is to figure out which items you really want and which you want only if you can get them for free. Write out a list of items and how much you expect to pay for them, and then go find them one at a time. Here is how:
Giveaways. If you have the time to enter blog giveaways, you could win a ton of stuff. It’s a numbers game, so you will need to find blogs that sponsor a lot of giveaways and subscribe to their newsletters so you can spend your time entering giveaways instead of finding them. I go into more detail about how to find giveaways here. Using this technique, I won about $600 worth of baby gear, including several hundred dollars of cloth diapers, which was the focus of my effort.
Freecycle. Freecycle is an organization that promotes giving away things to people in your local area that you would otherwise throw away. Everything must be free, no strings attached, and you can both offer and request items within a specific distance of your location. Freecycle was a big part of how I got my daughter’s entire first-year wardrobe for free, because people love to unload their kids’ entire closets by just packing them up in boxes and giving them to the person who responds to their Freecycle offer first. Win-win!
Combining sales. This is for those of you who think of saving money as a competitive game. Just how big of a sale can you create by combining different money-saving techniques? Well, you can buy an item on clearance at your local baby boutique, double up the savings with a mailer coupon, AND add a Facebook-fan-only discount or a newsletter-subscriber discount or a Twitter-follower discount. My baby boutique offers all these ways to save, but you have to be in the know to find these deals! If you don’t have a local boutique and you are shopping at a department store, try this one on for size: buy an item that is on a seasonal sale, preferably one that offers an extra discount for early birds, and scope out the sale early so you know how much you’re going to spend. Then, look online for promo codes to save even more AND go to a site such as Giftcardrescue.com and purchase a discounted gift card in the amount you are going to spend, which will net you an extra 10-15% off your purchase. (Please note that these sites can be slow to send you your card, so if you’re stalking a deal that will disappear quickly, skip that last step.) My daughter was given a cute—and very warm--outfit for Christmas that she would have grown into in April, so I took it to Macy’s the day after Christmas when everything went on sale AND there were early bird specials for an extra 20% off, and I replaced this one outfit with five Carter’s onesies, two pairs of pants, a long-sleeved shirt, and a matching onesie and bib and sleeper. Now that’s a sale!
I hope that sparks a few ideas to help you save money on your next baby gear purchase. There are many more ways to save, so if you’re interested in saving as much as you can, read more at 29Diapers.com.
Laura K. Cowan is an editor, writer, and WAHM, and the founder of 29Diapers.com, a baby blog that explains all about modern cloth diapering in one place and teaches readers how to save up to 70% off baby’s first year gear. She lives with her husband and baby girl in Michigan.
