Budget Tip: Take Advantage of the Local Library

Books are my friend. I love them. It would be very easy for me to blow an entire paycheck at a book store. So when Ohio and I got engaged, I was glad that I had recently enacted a new life policy- I would not buy any book (unless required by school or work) unless I exhausted all the resources of the local library first.
Luckily our library system here in Sacramento is fantastic! So far I have checked out books about wedding planning and decorating, honeymoon locations....Did you know that you can even check out magazines from the library? And our library carries Bride magazine and Martha Stewart!
So now I am able to do three things I love to do: read, save money and plan my wedding!
