1. Convert to cloth nappies.Initially expensive, but in the long run it's cheaper  2. Pay extras off your loans, even $10 a week can make a huge difference, it also means if times get tough you will be ahead in your payments. 3. Shop around for everything. Internet, phones, insurance, loans, you will be suprised at how much you can save! I changed mine and DP's phone options, changed the home phone option and shopped around for cheaper insurance and save us $120 a MONTH. 4. When you DO start saving money, ensure you put it off a loan or into your savings account the minute you get paid! You wouldn't have had it anyway, so put it to good use!
