Oh-so-easy ways to pay less

If you are like most of us, you probably wish you could spend less and save more. It is easier than you think with a few simple changes.

To start, switch to generic brands at the supermarket. Generics are often made the same as pricier brands. Buy larger quantities when they provide a discount.

Order prescriptions in bulk by mail. You will get a 90-day supply of medication for a fraction of the price.

Lastly, use a debit card instead of a credit card. You’ll be less likely to overspend when the cash comes directly from your checking account.
