Are you using these ways to save money?
*You can save money by shopping for groceries in the “bulk foods” aisles in your grocery store.
*Bulk up in the wintertime. You don’t need the heat above 68 degrees in the winter inside your house. Wear warm clothes and socks/slippers while in the house.
*Use all plastic bags you receive at the grocery store for trash bags.
*Some grocery stores give you a 5-cent credit per bag if you bring your own bags. Pennies add up over time.
*Instead of buying a new house, rent to own. The payments are cheaper.
*Install a water softener. It might be expensive to start up, but in the long run, you use less shampoo/conditioner on your hair and it saves your appliances (pipes, iron, washing machine, dish washer, kettle and hot water tank) from clogging up with lime scale.
*Breastfeed your children!
*Save money when shopping next time at the supermarket by remembering to check the lower items nearer to floor level as they are often much cheaper than those at eye level. Also, resist the temptation to purchase extra items at the checkout such as magazines and candy bars.
*When you receive a gift that you are sure you won’t use, re-gift! The next time you will need to buy a gift – give away one of your own.
*Buy, slaughter and butcher your own cow. The average cost of the meat is $1.00 per pound.
*Hand-pick your own fruits and vegetables in season. They are less expensive and better quality foods.
*The next time you yearn to see a movie wait to see it on DVD at the video store.
*Quick braking, cornering, and accelerating (speeding) will eat your gas up considerably. Never let your fuel needle go below a ½ tank, or fill it up when you drive it to “Empty”. Nickel and diming your gas tank gets you no where fast!
Start taking a small step at a time, you’ll be surprise at the results.
