But, here we present the popular Simple Living series for another week, and this week take a look at how to save big, long term, dollars through huge savings on your food bill.

Welcome back to our weekly (on every Sunday) series dedicated to Simple Living. These postings are especially for our minimalist, sustainability and saving conscious readers, but there is always something in there worth reading for everyone (today see: Auction tips)
This week we are looking at DIY bargain hunting.
It started with Ebay
Since my wife discovered she could make money selling things on ebay she has been digging through the local paper every week searching for “clearing sales”.
What is a clearing sale?
It is basically where every item of plant, equipment and furniture is sold at “fire sale” prices.
We live in the mountains that surround one of Australia’s capital cities. And as a result are very close to many rural communities and farming lands. Something that is common in these communities are what is called a “clearing sale”.

Today I posted a link loving list of 25 ways to save money. I thought it was only fair that I sit down and put some effort into sharing my own sage wisdom of 25 ways to save money.
It is certainly an interesting exercise, to sit and think about the ways you save money. For me anyway, because my focus really is always on generating income, increasing my capacity to generate cashflow into our family businesses. The basic philosophy being twofold.. one, if you have lots of money, you do not have to really worry about how the bills will get paid.. but, two if you have no money, all the greatest saving strategies in the world are not going to help your situation much.
But, having just shot this whole series in the foot, let me redeem it a little by mentioning the two biggest factors in long term financial success are patience and discipline.. and they go very well with cost control and saving ideas. And, I think you need to have a flair for both sides of the balance sheet if you are going to accumulate $1M and retire in comfort.
Anyway, enough tangent activity.. here is InvestmentLoan’s list of 25 ways to save money:
