A quick money saving tip....


By Eatin' on the Cheap (Visit website)



 


See this cutie right here? Yea, him up there in the tie. He hasn't gone somewhere and gotten his haircut in a couple years. That's right years. 


"Where's his afro?" you say .


Well, I have been keeping that afro in check myself for a couple of years. He does his own beard work.


Several years ago, his beard trimmer died and we went to go get another one. What we came home with was a Wahl home hair cutting kit complete with shears, combs and a built in beard trimmer.
 
He only used it for beard trimming until one day after many 80 hour work weeks in a row ( at a job he no longer has I might add) he came to me, clippers in hand begging me to attack the afro on his head. So I sat him down in the kitchen, slapped a #4 guard on that thing and got rid of the afro like it was a bad polyester dress suit.


It was then that I realized that we could be saving a lot of money. He paid about $15 a month to get a haircut which by itself saves about $200 a year. But add in this guy:
 
And this little girl: ( I obviously don't shave her head, but I have gotten pretty decent at using a pair of hair shears)
 
And I am saving $540 a year on haircuts.


Now, boys are easy. They can walk around with a shaved head no big deal, but girls are harder. I recommend checking out a hair cutting book at your local library to get the basics down. 


"What about me?" you ask.


Well, I still pay for my haircuts, but they only come once every 6 months or so. I'm just not brave enough to let one of the other 3 members of the household cut my hair yet.
