I'd love to be able to do something like that, except we don't really keep a stocked pantry which makes it a little hard.<br /><br />As for credit cards, I have one that I use for pretty much everything. But I do pay it off at the end of the month. It earns cash back so I try to put most (if not all) of my everyday purchases on it. Since I pay it off every month I don't earn interest, just more cash back.Shoshanahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707241263291051104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1171707430519710500.post-18613245833244512962010-05-02T19:58:47.294-05:002010-05-02T19:58:47.294-05:00Hi!

I just stopped by from Kelly's Korner to check out your budgeting tips...I'm working on saving money since I realize just how much my family wastes each month!<br /><br />I'm no expert at all, but I would not advise charging and paying only the minimum to try and build your credit. I suggest getting 1 or maybe 2 credit cards, and using them occasionally for purchases that you know you can pay for at the end of the month. I don't think lenders are concerned with how long you've carried a balance or how much you've used a credit card...it's just about how long that credit has been established. My husband and I both have very good credit, and some of the only negatives on his were that he had only had the credit line for a short period of time (he didn't have ANY credit for awhile). <br /><br />Hope that helps! Like I said, I'm no expert, but if you have any questions, etc., feel free to contact me. Like your blog...and I'm thinking of trying the "Eat from the Pantry" challenge! : )Deannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11371310465607810535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1171707430519710500.post-34875242444884531142010-05-01T02:40:50.207-05:002010-05-01T02:40:50.207-05:00Great tips...and I like the envelope idea...Late n...Great tips...and I like the envelope idea...Late night blog hopping.....<br />Have 2 great giveaways that I am drawing for on Sunday night<br />http://grammyababychangeseverything.blogspot.com/2010/04/oh-happy-day-and-giveway-no-two.htmlTeresa @ Grammy Girlfriendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05151128140345216126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1171707430519710500.post-57333176492489204922010-04-30T21:53:54.944-05:002010-04-30T21:53:54.944-05:00My Grandpa taught my Momma the envelope trick!
