Just because you are on a frugal living budget doesn't mean that you can't benefit from the latest health trends like probiotics. One of the best things you can do for preventative medicine and your health is to consume probiotics, which help to line your gut with good bacteria. There are many economical ways to increase your intake of probiotics without spending on a fortune on the commercial varieties.

One of the best ways is to learn how to make water kefir. Once you purchase the grains, you are good for life, as long as your grains don't die. This makes an awesome natural soda alternative as well. Another natural source of probiotics is kombucha, which is a fermented tea. It contains many beneficial probiotics, vitamins and amino acids, and can be made at home. Finally, you can learn how t ferment veggies and make your own sauerkraut. Homemade sauerkraut tastes amazing, is easy to make and keeps for a long time.

Frugal living is not only for people who are tight on their money. In fact, many on the UK Rich List became where they are today because of their consistent saving habits and strategies of increasing their wealth.

If you examine the Rich List 2011, you'll notice that all of the tycoons on the list made their money through either successful investments or successful businesses. This trend is a great lesson for aspiring millionaires and billionaires. Although, making more money is only half of the equation to get yourself on the rich list. You also have to be able to be frugal with your money, especially when you are starting off. This ensures that you keep your accumulating wealth, and that it grows consistently. The act of saving money also gets you on the fast track to financial success because the extra money that you save can be used for further investments and as capital for your business ventures.

Living Well for Less

There are many ways to be frugal and save money. Here are a few ways on saving more money. We usually go to the closest ATM and withdraw money. There is a fee assessed at both banks usually totaling $5 to $7. Lottery tickets are another lure, we buy these tickets "just in case" but you have a better chance at being hit by lightning then winning the lottery.

Cigarettes are a cancer on your budget and your lungs. A pack of cigarette run from $6 to $10 a pack depending on what state you are in. We love going to gourmet coffee shops, sometimes daily. Take the $6 cup of coffee you buy and multiply it times the days you go…what a savings.

Buying generic brands of groceries can save a lot of money too. For instance, a brand name box of corn flakes may cost $4.79 when a generic costs $1.99. Eating out is one of the most expensive habits we have. An average bill is $28.47 and average 82 restaurant visits a year, adding up to $2341 a year. Bar hopping is double the cost of a restaurant.
