12 unusual ways to save money
1. Try the Mirena IUD (birth control)
After a consult at Planned Parenthood where the nurse told me "All of us here at the clinic use it", I decided to finally try the Mirena IUD. One of the attractive features of the Mirena is that it may stop your period from coming (in most cases). I was lucky enough to have my insurance cover the cost of the Mirena and ended up paying ZERO out of pocket expenses. Mirena saves money by preventing a pregnancy! Maternity clothes, baby clothes, baby products, childcare and babies in general are quite expensive. The average monthly rate for full time child care ranges anywhere from $800-1200. Since Mirena stops your period you will also save hundreds of dollars on tampons, pads, liners, Midol, chocolate, and whatever else you use to help you get through "that time of the month".
