Here are two that I have used: Columbia House DVD Club and Disney Movie Club. Now the only way to get the savings is to follow the rules. If you aren't organized, this option will only cost you money. If you are not interested in owning movies, you just want to see them, try NetFlix for some cost savings. They are especially good if you often forget to return movies as there are no late fees. Sign up for your local video store's use specials. Often you'll get a free movie every time you rent 10, or something like that. Always ask for deals when getting a video store card. Trade the DVDs you don't want for ones you do at MyDVDTrader.com. Buy used on eBay's video and DVD section or ex-rentals from video stores. Purchase new titles right away when they are on special at electronic stores. Search the sales for the best deals.

But that doesn't mean you or your teen have to forgo looking good. Clip coupons for cosmetics and hair coloring or highlighting supplies. The 2 for 1 coupons are wonderful for mother and daughter supplies. Enjoy a nail night or style night at home while spending time together. For $15 of nail polish and embellishments you'll get two $30-$40 dollar manicures and some good memories. Add a week to your hair-cutting schedule and get your cut every seven weeks, instead of every six. You'll save the price of one haircut a year per person. Make your own hair accessories, here are two I made up recently: Flower Headband and Flower Hairpin. Buy generic products you can trust. Read the labels and see if there is any difference in the more expensive products and the generic. If not, save your family the money.

My husband left 2 1/2 years ago because he wanted his "freedom"...I have 3 children. My daughter was just turning 13 when he left. She is now 15 and is still as angry as she was when he left. At first she would visit him every other weekend and stay with him, but that ended after about 3 months. At that time she got increasingly angry and refused to speak to him or see him. He blamed me for influencing her and "changing her feelings." Read more...

He is completely besotted with her, has lost interest in his hobbies and his friends and spends most of his time with her or on the phone to her. She is quite unlike the nice girls he has previously dated. She has on her own account already had sex with 8 boys, her own father says she is a compulsive liar and recently accused her of stealing money from the home.He has had to get up at 3.30 am last week to pick her up from the town center where she had been out drinking as she didn't want her parents to know she had been out. We have expressed our concerns to our son that she will hurt him or cause trouble for him however he says she is with him now and people change. We have tried to be tolerant and calm and would not try to tell him that he cannot see her however my husband (his Dad)now does not want her name mentioned and does not want her in our house. This is causing a lot of friction between my son and his dad whom he has always had a very close relationship with. I'm afraid that this is just more likely to make my son pull away from his family and further into the arms of his girlfriend. His girlfriends parents feel my son is a good influence on their daughter and are delighted with him. Can anyone give me some good advice, I feel torn between my son and my husband? Denise's thoughts: I would try talking with him, if you can keep your feelings in check. An honest heart-to-heart. Letting him know why you are worried, but telling him that you respect his decisions. Then back off, because as long as you and your husband are the 'bad guys' the more she can hold on to him. If you remove yourself as the problem, he may begin to she her antics as not something he wants to deal with. Asking our parenting community: Have you always liked your teen's dates?

Permalink | Comment | Email this Money Saving Tips for Reading Teens 4 Mar 2010 at 12:00am I have a confession to make: I have a reader in my home and I am slowly going broke buying books. Yes, she goes to our local library and has read the books on their shelves - it is a small library. Yes, she goes to her school library - she has read most of what is there. She is currently working through her English teacher's personal library and has joined a book club with that teacher. Having a reader like this means that frugal parents need to get savvy when obtaining good books that our teens want to read. Here are three money-saving ideas: 1.) I have found the PaperbackSwap.com site and I'm loving the idea for my teen daughter and myself. You post books that you would like to swap out and you earn credits by swapping them. Then you use your credits to 'order' books you want to read from others. The only cost associated with the swap is the cost of mailing the book. My only caution is that you will need to watch who your teen is swapping with and who sends them books as it is an online community. 2.) Teens can get together and make suggestions for books to be purchased at their local library. They can even do a book drive and earn some money towards their list of suggested books. This is a great way to do some volunteer community service and get a few more books on the library's shelves that teens like to read. 3.) Swap books with friends. Get a group of friends who like to read and do a circular swap where a book goes from one person to the next until it gets around the to everyone and back to its owner.
