Lifestyle Changes Save Money

We live in an over marketed, busy world.  Where moms need to be everywhere and everything. If you can take a second to slow down.  I know it is hard when you need to be everywhere. But if you can slow down and assess all the things going on.

Simple Changes To Save More Money

If you can take 30 minutes and assess where you are spending your money, where you need to be everyday and what your goals are you will start saving more money.

How To Save More Money

Decreasing your household expenses and your daily expenses is a great place to start saving money.  Discover just how easy it is to decrease your household expenses. 

Money Saving Lifestyle Changes

Real easy lifestyle changes that can help you cut your household expenses and save more money include setting up a budget, shopping sales, couponing, home cooking, paying with cash and so much more.  Discover more money saving tips below. 

Overspending

As people in today’s ever busy economy we have a habit to run on overdrive and during this busy time we grab a coffee here and take out there and maybe over shop the grocery budget a bit.

It is normal!  I have done it sometimes more than I want to admit.

How To Stop Overspending

It doesn’t have to be complicated, simply take count of where you spent money the last week.  Did you order coffee more than usual or travel out of town? Are the kids growing and need new clothes? Did you order take out after soccer practice?

How To Get Spending Under Control

I have done everyone of these things at one moment or another. You can read all the things we stopped doing to save money.  Life gets busy, we get busy and choosing the easy route is just plain easier sometimes.

Simple Changes Save Money

Opting to make simple changes to save more money is easier than you think.   For example I bought a second travel mug for my tea or coffee instead of spending $5 a day when I need that extra pick me up.  I even bought some new teas to make it more appealing and fun.

Ways To Save Money

What can you change up in your everyday to save money? Are your utilities costing you too much? What can you change? Can you opt to wash in cold water?  Is turning the thermostat down an option?

  1. Setup a budget

How To Save Money Fast

The easiest way to save money fast is to not spend it.  Try planning a no spend weekend or a no spend month. Look at how you are spending your money, what can you cut back on to quickly save more cash? 

Money Saving Ideas

Maybe brown bag your lunch and bring coffee from home all week. Or try cutting back on your grocery shopping, get creative in the kitchen and with meal planning. Focus on using what you have instead of shopping.

10 Lifestyle Changes To Save Money:

  1. Brown bag your lunch
  2. Bring your coffee from home

  5. Turn the thermostat down
  6. Meal plan

  8. Try doing minor household repairs yourself
  9. Invite your friends over for a meal instead of dining out
  10. Shop vintage and thrift first

Ways To Save Money Daily

One of the best ways to save money if you are traveling or if you are a working mom or if you go from school pick up to activities is meal planning.   I find we save so much money brown bagging our lunch and bringing along snacks and drinks.

Money Saving Meal Prep

We do simple meal prep on the weekend cutting up vegetables and fruit. Compiling weekly meals in containers.  Bagging up snacks for easy grab and go. Spending a few minutes on the weekend saves us so much money during the week.

Money Saving TipS

Another great way to save money is to have everyone over. Invite your family or friends or both. Even if it is just for a simple barbecue or soup night. Have everyone pitch in and bring a dessert, salad or accompaniment to the meal.

Make it simple and not to complicated.  Bring out the board games or outdoor activities. And enjoy good quality fun without the expensive meal and entertainment. If you are worried about the clean up get your family and friends involved. Give everyone a job and enjoy the night.

Simple changes make great money savers.
