Some Little Tid-Bits to Help You Save Money

I know that in todays world saving money is one of the most important things we need to do, however it is also one of the hardest things to do! Here are some tips to help you keep a little cash in your pocket!

1. Stock Up

   When you make a trip to the store purchase more than one of the same item. If you need toilet paper buy two packs, this saves you gas and money! You will be prepared next time you run out!

2. Make a List

   Before you head out the door, make a list of everything that you need. By doing this you will ensure that nothing is forgotten, and this too will save you gas because you will not have to make a second list!

3. Buy the off Brand
   
   The store brand products are usually just as good as the name brand product and they are usually a lot cheaper! Pick and choose what you can substitute!
   
   

4. Carpool

   See when your neighbor is going to be heading to the store (you can also use this option to go other places as well!) catch a ride with them and offer to be the driver next time around!

5. Coupons

   Use your coupons! They actually do save you quite a bit of money if you add up all of the savings! There are great websites that offer free printable coupons as well!

6. Shop Online

   Shopping online saves you gas, time, and there are also sites that are less expensive than the actual stores! For example if you are a big movie fan Netflix is a great way to save a lot of money! They only charge you a set amount ($13.99/month – two movies at a time- unlimited amount of movies shipped per month) depending on your plan, you can rent new releases or your old favorites and it all costs the same, they never charge for shipping and there are no late fees! Plus you save gas by never having to go anywhere but right to your pc!

7. Walk

   If you live close enough to your local store and you are not needing a lot, walk there! You not only get excercise but you save gas as well!

8. Simplify
   
   Review your bills and choose what you actually need, cut the other ones out of your life! If you pay for a magazine subscription but don’t actually read the magazine-cancel it!

9. Cook

   Instead of eating fast food all the time, eat some meals at home! It is a lot cheaper to do the work yourself! You can make meals for under $10 a day here.

10. Go Green

    Replace your light bulbs with energy saving light bulbs! Replace your old appliances to those that have the energy star! Turn off the lights/water when you are finished using them! Get an energy audit and find out if your home leaks, then fix it if it does! Change your filters on your heating or air condition unit so they don’t use so much energy. You will save a lot of money this way!

Doing a Little Saving a Lot

I have been researching new ways to save money both for my personal life and to share with you...I have realized that one of the things we do here at my home is use very little electricity...

So let's dive into some ways we can reduce the amount of electricity we use...

Did you know that everything looks the same in the dark as it does when the light is on! Yeah it's true...I used to be afraid of the dark, I know I'm a mom...and I'm scared of the dark...but not anymore...especially after I found out how much money I can save by turning the light off!

So I now sleep with the light off...all the lights...and when I get up to use the bathroom (I have one that is attached to my room) I leave the light off as well....I also try to light candles and use candle light at least one night a week....not only does it cut down on my electricity bill but it also lengthens the life of my light bulbs just a little!!

I also limit the amount of time my television is on. If you are like I was the TV was my "background" noise. My parents always had the TV on, and I guess since that is what I was used to I just continued to do the same thing. In fact I didn't even realize I was doing it until my husband pointed it out! I never knew how nice the quiet could be! We have the TV on only when we want to actually watch it now. When we are done watching it is shut off!

You can also save by unplugging your appliances (don't unplug your fridge though, your food will go bad!) because even though they are off they still use electricity!

It even makes a difference if you actually turn your computer off or if you only "put it to sleep" it uses much less energy when you turn it off...

These are the things I do to conserve energy and keep money in my wallet...If you have any energy saving ideas please leave them in the comment section!

Showering Money

Weird title, eh! I'm sorry, I know it's a little cheesy...but I have been trying to think of ways to help you (readers) save money....

One of the ways that I have found to keep my water bill down is showering instead of taking baths...but I can't always give up baths! They are so relaxing, calming, and quiet....so I by minimizing my shower time I can make up for using so much water when I take a bath...

I keep my shower time down to 5 minutes...that gives me enough time to wash everything that needs to be washed, and save 10 minutes of running water! :) I can then justify taking a bath once a week because I am still using less water than if I took 15 minute showers a day!
Believe me it does make a difference.

Another way you can save money on your water bill is if you have a toilet with a large tank fill a gallon or 1/2 gallon milk jug with water and set it in your tank. It reduces the amount of water your toilet uses to flush, you won't even notice the difference until your water bill arrives, and then your face will light up!

You can also reduce the amount of water you use to wash dishes, I fill my sink a quarter of the way up so that my water is very soapy, then I stick one dish in at a time. I find that it cleans even better than full sink because you have more soap in your water! Plus you are saving gallons off your water bill.

If you have a flower garden...I know it's a little late in the season, but I have confidence that you'll remember this one...you can sit a bucket outside and when it rains it will fill up with water. You can then turn around and use the water for your flowers. Then you really are getting water for free!

If you are looking to save water when you do your laundry I use cold water, unless it's something that needs to be washed in Hot my washer is always set to cold/cold. I also wait until I have a large load to throw it in that way I can save on my water bill because I am doing one large load instead of 2 medium loads. It also saves on your electric bill!

If you have any water saving tips please share in the comment section of this post. :)
