Here’s some personal experience on great ways to save an extra buck. I'd love to hear your tips! I have a list of about 40+ tips to save money. This is part 3 tips 8-11. I hope you enjoy!
8) Save Energy
8) Save Energy
8a) Turn off the lights when you leave your home! Dont leave lights on throughout the night unnecessarily. Replace your standard light bulbs with HE (high efficiency) bulbs. Turn down your thermostat when your away from home. Only run your dishwasher when it is full.
9) Get RID of your
Cable/Satellite Bill
9a) Yes, you pay too much
for TV. I have friends and family that pay $140 a month for HDTV services. Try
switching and getting promo's from your current providers competitors. Try getting rid of cable or satellite for at least for a couple of months to see how much you can save. If
there is some final or championship game that is vital to watch try free HDTV
with an antenna, a local sports bar, or watch it at a friends/family's place.
10) Be Smart With Your
Movie Rentals
10a) Netflix.com (yes, the
rates went up to $8 a month for 1 movie and $8 a month for streaming but this
is still the best deal out there.) and we watch movies on occasion. Amazon
Prime is also another option.
10b) If the need arises we
can always get a movie at your local Redbox or Redbox.com. DVD movie rentals
are about $1.00 or $1.20 so a night. It is only $1.50 for Bluray DVDs. Also,
come to find out if you sign up for the Redbox texts you get a free rental
every week or two sent to your phone! We get to watch a movie for free at least
1-2 times per month!
10c) Hulu.com is also a
great option. Or if you sign up for Amazon Prime they also offer free streaming
content.
10d) The local library has
movie rentals for free! In our area you can check out 10 movies a week. Or your
local church library might have a good family selection as well.
11) Shop Right After the
Holidays
11a) Yes Black Friday is
fantastic. If you can get up early enough that is and stand the lines. Ive done
it for the last 6 or 7 years. However, often the same deals are available
online or are still on sale after the big day. Great time for good deals on
appliances and electronics! Also keep in mind there are some great sales after
Christmas. Save up your money throughout the year and buy on Holidays or the
day after.
