Autumn not only marks the shift to mittens and hot chai lattes, but it is also harvest season. Here are a few tips for cashing in on the harvest:

  • Find a local farmers market and head there towards the end of the day for great deals. My friend last week went to Eastern Market here in Washington and they announced free peaches and nectarines, as many as you could carry, plus apples for fifty cents a pound.
  • Whether or not you head to the market or the grocery store, buy seasonally and you are bound to save some cash. Hold off on buying oranges until their price drops at the holiday season. Apples are the way to go these days!
  • Depending on where you live, going straight to the pumpkin patch is a great way to save on you jack o’ lantern or pumpkin pie. It sure beats the price at Whole Foods and it added entertainment as well.
  • The cold weather also marks chili season! Make up a big batch of chili and you’ve got several meals made in one move. (This is James’ favorite part of fall!)

Enjoy the bounties of the harvest and stay warm. Soon we’ll be posting on weatherizing to save money, as no one is looking forward to their heating bill.

Enjoy your weekend!

MANAGE YOUR MONEY TOGETHER

Here are some simple guidelines for DINKS to build wealth:

1) Collaborate: Meet regularly to talk about money, set goals together, track and monitor them.

2) Understand and respect your partner. Take time to understand your partners values about money.

3) Watch the numbers. Get a budget, monitor your spending and track your net worth.

4) Max your retirement. Maximize contributions to your tax deferred retirement accounts.

5) Invest in stock. Stocks perform better than bonds or cash.

6) Avoid high interest debt. Credit cards and title loans are financial cancer.

7) Diversify. Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
