Who doesn't like saving?

Seriously who doesn't like saving? And with being on a budget everyone can use a little extra. I am all for saving, and helping provide things for my family. These are just some things you can easily do and save money without to much effort.

1.  Couponing

Couponing is a great way to save money for your family and get the things that you need for your family. Here are some sites, and groups I found to help with all this.

   2.  Product Testing

   Product testing does require some time. As you have to order the products(this usually requires Amazon prime to get free 2 day shipping), then once it arrives you have to test it out, and then leave a honest review about it on Amazon. Amazon has some strict rules, which can be found HERE. Below are a couple starter sites for you. There are review groups on facebook but the majority of them want you to be fairly versed in reviewing before joining. You can get awesome items some that maybe you needed anyways!

My Body Utopia Review

There are so many harsh chemicals in nearly everything we use anymore, including products we use on ourselves every day like soap and deodorant. Now there are lots of diy ideas out there on the internet but if you are like me you just don't have the time for that kind of thing. Usually I am so busy running around and doing everything under the sun that the very idea of making my own deodorant sounds crazy. Sure you have a few "natural" deodorants in the store as well...but honestly I haven't found one of them that works for me. 

My Body Utopia is a different story though. They not only have natural deodorant but they have a pretty nice variety when it comes to scents. Guys never fear! They even have great manly scents for you!

I personally was given the chance to try their Fruity splash deodorant. They come in a very nice sized little stick, making it very easy to use and put on...but it also seems to last for a good long time as well. The scent isn't to over powering but it does smell very nice and really seems to do a good job at keeping me from smelling even on the really hot days. 

Along with the Fruity Splash deodorant I was also able to try out their Dude Degreaser soap...or rather my husband was able too. First thing he noticed when he opened the soap was the "manly smell". He said it reminded him of a different, non-natural deodorant that he used to use. However, the best part is it actually does it's job very well and even when my husband spend the day out at the farm fixing the tractors he is usually able to clean up quickly with this. After he was all finished he had no residue left on him from the oil or from the soap itself.

Other than the fact that they are natural, they are also much safer to use, because you have a lot less chance of an allergic reaction. So they are perfect for anyone with sensative skin.
