Today I am adding a new category to our posts: Saving time. I feel that saving time is a great compliment to saving or making money, because the more time you save on “grunt work” tasks, the more time you have to strategize on your savings and the more time you have to work and make money. It’s a win-win!
So, as many of our regular readers now know, we’re expecting a baby this summer! This means that we’ve been getting up to speed on ways to save on babies/children, and I can’t think of 2 things mothers and fathers need to save more than money and time! As such, I have 2 great tips to share today! We are attending a maternity fair (kind of like a career fair) very soon, which is a great way to save some money. There is no admission charge, and many of the vendors offer giveaways, so you could end up with lots of free stuff! The main sponsor of the fair, in this case a hospital, is also offering a grand prize that includes labor and delivery of your baby! Obviously, not everyone will win, but it’s worth a couple of hours one day to try!
Now for the time saving part…IF you do decide to check out vendor sponsored maternity fairs, or food fairs or career fairs etc., be sure to take address labels with you. Many of these places expect a name and address to register you to win their prizes, and if you have address labels with you, you will save yourself plenty of time, so you can see/do more things at the fair! It will make your life less stressful!
As humans, we are always coming up with ways to save time. Hopefully, this will benefit you in more ways than just trade shows and fairs! Good luck!
