Tips for saving money.
Bookmark this page and check back often for tips on saving money. Tips will mostly be for around the house, grocery shopping, etc. As always, I welcome suggestions so lets share ideas! #1. Limit the times that your family eats at restaurants. They are very expensive for what you get. This is true even at fast food restaurants. Peanut butter sandwiches and fruit are just as filling and can certainly work in a pinch when you must be away from home at meal time. Save dinners out for special occasions; and you will likely find them to be even more enjoyable. #2. Replace your light bulbs with CFL bulbs. The use much less electricity and they last longer. MUCH longer. They make them now that last 7 years. I've seen the CFL bulbs that replace a regular 60 watt bulb in a package 3/$7. How many regular 60 watt bulbs for three sockets do you buy in 7 years? Probably at least 40 I would imagine. I've been using CFL bulbs in my home for over 3 years, I LOVE them and I recommend them to anyone. #3. Hang your laundry to dry outside. Electric dryers are expensive to operate. #4.
