Money Saving Tip #113: Herb Garden

If you have been blessed with a green thumb, try growing your own herbs rather than buying them at the grocery store. Seeds are super cheap, and you can grow lots of a particular herb for pennies. Don't go overboard and try to grow several different varieties. Try with a simple herb like parsley first.

Only buy seeds for herbs that you use on a regular basis. If you don't usually make recipes containing rosemary, for example, don't waste your money buying these seeds.

You can grow herb plants on your kitchen window sill or outdoors. Just don't forget to water the plant; I'm guilty of that.
