25 Easy Money-Saving Tips
© Terri Seymour of SeymourProducts.com
1. Cut out the soda and drink more water! You'd be surprised how much you
will save.
2. Go over your grocery list. Try buying more off-brands. Most of the ones
I've tried are just as good as their more expensive counterparts.
3. Buy clothes and shoes for you and the kids from the clearance racks. I
have been buying my sons' school clothes this way for years!
4. Get movies from the library instead of renting them.
5. Same with books, borrow instead of buy. We usually only read them once
anyway.
6. Go on a picnic instead of going to the restaurant. It is more fun and
much cheaper!
7. Toss all your change in a "piggy bank" of some kind and let it accumulate
for a few months or longer. You will think you struck it rich! (Not really,
but it does add up)
8. If you have all the movie channels, cut them down a bit. Most of the
movies rotate through them all anyway.
9. Do your laundry at night. The rates are cheaper.
10. Give your clothes an extra spin as it costs less to run a washer than
the dryer.
11. Ask your credit card companies for a lower interest rate. Sometimes
rather than lose a good customer, they will grant your wish!
12. Buy your holiday decorations AFTER the holiday. You can save up to 75%
or more.
13. Turn down your heat a couple degrees more at night and throw on an extra
blanket.
14. Clean behind your refrigerator at least once a year to get out all the
dust and dirt that can cost you more money.
15. Save empty bread bags and grocery bags instead of buying box after box
of storage bags.
16. Keep your car tune and your tires properly inflated to save money on
gas.
17. Buy inexpensive fabric for cloth napkins, doilies, etc.
18. Be creative when it comes to decorating. Use sheets to make curtains.
Use an old quilt as a cozy wall-hanging. Create an artful display with
family photos.
19. Save the new, convenient plastic coffee cans with handles. Paint them,
decorate them and use them for organizers for kids art supplies, your CDs,
pens & pencils, food envelopes, recipes, craft supplies, etc.
20. Turn unused stuff into money. If you have a gift you haven't used or
that shirt you bought and never wore, take them back to the store. You might
not get full price, but some is better than none.
21. Use petroleum jelly to remove make-up. It is much more economical then
beauty products made for removing make-up.
22. Hydrogen peroxide can be used to kill germs in cuts and sores rather
then expensive antibiotic medicines.
23. Make windowsill or container gardens and grow herbs and fresh
vegetables.
24. Instead of a night on the town, send the kids to Grandma's and have a
romantic night at home.
25. Make and STICK TO a budget! Find out more by emailing budgeting@getresponse.com
