Caring for a child can be expensive. Amazon Mom − a free membership program through Amazon.com® — is dedicated to providing caregivers with ways to save on items such as diapers and baby wipes. Spend more time together instead of shopping all over town looking for the best deals.

Save on winter wardrobes

The TogetherONETM Team

It's a fact: kids outgrow their clothes long before they outwear them. Keeping up with their growth spurts can be expensive, so why not save money by buying used clothing? This season, consider saving money by looking for winter wardrobe deals at consignment shops or on websites like eBay. You can find clothing that's in good condition and, once your kids outgrow it, you can even resell it.

Save on heat this winter

Heating your home can be costly—especially if you live in an older house or apartment. You can conserve heat and save money this winter by insulating your windows and weather-stripping your doors. Insulation and weather-stripping kits are sold at hardware stores. This small investment can yield big results. Also, visit EnergyStar.gov for more tips on insulating your home this winter.

It covered it; unbelievable.

David C., TN

I have been prescribed [an anti-anxiety medication] for years. No insurance that I can think of covers that drug. Not TennCare, Medicare, Medicaid, or [m]any self-pay insurance companies. However; when I went into my Good Neighbor Pharmacy, I ask them to try [my TogetherRxAccess card]. When they said it went through and [how much it would cost], I nearly fell [on] the floor. The card saved me a little over $6.00 per prescription. It doesn't sound like much but it does add up.

Participate in a magazine swap!

Laura B., NY

My girlfriends and I subscribe to a few magazines each and we all swap until everyone has read each one. It's a great way to save money (and save trees) and then when we're all finally done with them I drop them all off at a local bookstore or library that gives them away for free to their customers.

Vinegar

Use white vinegar to clean wood and glass, especially if you have a lovely wooden table with glass top like I have! :)
