Personal finance expert Rachel Cruze is a pro when it comes to budgeting. The author of “Know Yourself, Know Your Money,” keeps herself and her family on budget by adhering to a few frugal living habits.<\/p>\n

Here are the top ways Cruze lives frugally<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Opting for Store-Brand Groceries<\/p>\n

Cruze doesn’t think it’s worth spending more on the name-brand items at the grocery store.<\/p>\n

“When it comes to food, buy the store brand instead of the name brand,” she told GOBankingRates. “They’re usually made in the same place anyway!”<\/p>\n

Shopping at the Dollar Store<\/p>\n

There are certain items Cruze always buys at the dollar store for significant savings. Her favorite things to buy at dollar-store chains include “any party supplies for the kids,” she said.<\/p>\n

Cooking at Home<\/p>\n

Cruze and her family rarely go out to eat or order delivery.<\/p>\n

“Food is one of the largest expenses for families, so we personally don’t eat out a lot,” she said. “[The] majority of the time, we cook at home and skip the delivery fees.”<\/p>\n
