  • Designate a time for coupon clipping and commit to it. Recycle unused coupons. (Need help?)

  • Shop once a week for family meals, bringing your menu plan with you.



Family Schedules

  • Review the calendar for the week with other family members to ensure you have all appointments accounted for. (Need help?)



Laundry

  • Set up a routine schedule for dry cleaning. Many dry cleaners will pick up and deliver weekly; your office might offer a similar program.

  • Attempt to do as much washing, folding and ironing before the week begins. This will save time during the week. (Need help?)



Car

  • Remove trash, and organize must-haves for the car. (Need help?)

  • Find homes for everything that does not belong in your car. (Need help?)
