Ideas For Saving Money
Some
random ideas - more to follow. Many of these suggestions you may
already know, but maybe you just need a reminder.
 | A Clever Way To Seal A Door On A House. Use A Thick Rope For
A Seal. You Can Tack, Nail Or Staple It Around The Door.
Seal It Next To The Casing With Caulk. I Like This Better Than
The Foam Strips You Buy That Don't Work. |

| A site that lets you comparison shop stores in your area (USA) is www.shoplocal.com |
| If you're trying to save money and your lifestyle permits it, you
can rent a seasonal space at a year-round campground. Buy an
old mobile home or camper and live there year round. In my
area, some campgrounds only charge $500/year. Even if they
charge a lot more than that, it's still a deal compared to renting
an apartment. |
| Save
and use leftovers. If your family is fussy about leftovers,
freeze them and have them a few weeks later. |
| If you have any bad habits that cost you a lot of money, try to
quit. I'm sure you've heard this before. Just add up how much
money you will save and how much easier your life and maybe the
lives of people who care about you would be. I realize that
some bad habits are a lot of fun. That just makes it tougher
to quit. But not impossible. If you want the full

| Check
bulk prices. Sometimes they are actually higher than smaller
packages (check unit pricing). If they're a good deal,
separate the bulk into meal sizes and freeze. |
| *Dig a small trench over to a neighbor's house and connect to his
power, cable and phone. |
| Keep
track of what you buy that you don't need (for a while). It
will probably make additional funds available if you need to do some
saving. Two Pepsi's a day can add up to over $60.00 per month. |
| Do
everything you possibly can (within reason) to avoid late
charges. On credit cards paying late can also raise your
interest rate. (Sometimes even on the cards you weren't late
with). |
| Change
your engine oil every 3000 miles. If you do it yourself, it
can be under $10. This can help with gas mileage (Gas is not
cheap right now). |
| If
you need to go to the store, and it is close by, try
walking. This may eliminate the need to go to the Gym, and
saves on gas. |
| If
your TV breaks, and it's not too old, it's probably worth
fixing. Get an estimate first. |
| *Tell your children that wolves can survive for up to 2 weeks
without food. |
| Don't
ever buy designer clothes, unless they are on a very good sale. |
| Concentrate
on one debt to get rid of at a time. Pay a little extra if
you can to save interest. |
| Car
pool, or use Mass Transportation, if available. |
| You're getting sleepy. Sign up for our newsletter Go to the
box on the left). |
| Don't
ever buy anything from a rental place. You could end up
paying more than four times what it's worth. You're better
off buying a used washer and dryer for $150 than paying a rental
place $50 a week! If you don't have the money, go to a Laundromat
and save the rest of the fifty bucks until you do have the money. |
| Of
course turn off lights and electronic equipment when not in use. |
| Bag
your lunch if possible. |
| *Teach your dog to steal food from the neighbors. |
| Instead
of taking the kids to a movie, take them to a drive-in (If there's
one in your area. You can bring your own food and drinks,
and admission is cheaper. |
