Save Money on Medical Needs

• Use a flexible spending account or cafeteria plan, so you can pay out-of-pocket medical expenses with pre-tax dollars.
• Ask your doctor to prescribe generic medication.
• Buy generic medication at Walmart or Target. They have a lot of different medications available for $4.

Saving Money on Clothing

• Limit clothes shopping.
• Shop at thrift stores.
• Shop garage sales.
• Sew, using discount fabric (easy to find at garage sales).
• Change into play clothes after school to keep good clothes looking nice.
