Thrifty Money-Saving Tips Bartering
Services
I
am a mother of three, and a stay at home mom, so money around here is tight.

Sometimes while the boys are at school I will do old fashioned bartering with some of my friends that do different services in the town I live in. For example, if I want a hair cut, I will trade cleaning my friends' salon for a hair cut, plus have extra credit for next time. I have a friend that sells a popular brand of cosmetics, and when I am out of an item or items, I will clean her house in return of earning the needed items. The only cost to me is a little elbow grease. My friends don't mind getting their places cleaned, and I get what I need for no out of pocket cash. This can be done with any skill you have that you are willing to use as a bartering item. Editor's Note: Some other skills you can trade include cooking, sewing, repair work, decorating, organizing, grocery shopping, running errands and even baking birthday cakes! :o) * * * September 2005 Tip Rewards Winner!!!
