If you’re planning a wedding, chances are you’ve noticed how expensive everything is. What should be a simple celebration of your love turns into a budget war when you take into account the cost of inner envelopes for your invitations and monogrammed wedding favors for your guests. But you can save money on flowers by making your own silk wedding bouquets, corsages and boutonnières.
If you’re mechanically inclined and don’t mind getting messy, changing your car’s oil by yourself can save some extra cash over oil changes at your local service station. The first step is finding the correct supplies. You’ll need a jack, a wrench or ratchet (make sure it’s the right size!), a new oil filter, oil (check the grade), a short bucket, a rag, a funnel, and a big piece of cardboard.
