Saving Money

Simple changes that you can make in your everyday that add big bucks back into your wallet.

Ways To Saving Money

Before we start do you know where all your money is going?  Are you a coffee ordering queen? If so checkout these great Starbucks copycat recipes. Or are you the shop till you drop type? Or do you order take out last minute because you forgot to pull dinner out of the freezer? Checkout these great cheap meal ideas. 

Save Money

I have been all of these types (the overspending kind) and more. You can learn what we stopped buying to save over $1000 a month.

Stop Overspending

Assess it, remove it and forget it. Get rid of the stuff sucking your hard earned money so you can start saving.

Make Your Money Work For You!

Yes, you read that right.  Start making your money work for you. The best thing my husband and I did was take Financial Peace University.  We learned what we were doing wrong with our money and what we needed to do to fix it.  Best investment ever!

Are you looking for easy wasy to save money? Simple things you can start today to make a difference in your cash flow. Learn 25 easy ways to save money.

25 Easy Ways To Save Money: 

1. Stop trying to keep up

Be happy with what you have. The Joneses are broke. Multiple vacations, new wardrobes and lots of toys come with lots of debt.

2. Skip the drive thru

I know it is real easy just to pick up breakfast or lunch.  But you can save over $25 a day by brown bagging it from home.

3. Invest in a good coffee maker

Do you love your morning coffee?  You can save a ton of money brewing it at home and putting it in a travel mug and bring it to work. The key is to purchase a great coffee machine. Some even come with a wake up setting.

4. Learn to meal plan

I love meal planning it saves us so much money.  Eating out was wrecking our budget.  Now I know what’s for dinner and it is ready to go when I get home.  No more wondering what to cook.

5. Communication

Keeping your partner and family in the loop financially is important. Whether it be sharing money saving goals or a weekly budget meeting. Communicate your needs and your wants.

6. Learn to have fun

The cheap way.  Did you know you can have an amazing time without spending a dime?

7. Try something new

Do you buy the same brands of soap and bread every time you go shopping?  Try something new the next time you go shopping opt for the brand on sale or the generic option.

8. How do you plan your holidays? 

Do you staycation? Or do you get a group together and camp?  Or do you travel to a new city and stay in hotels? Planning a staycation or going camping are your best money saving options.

9. Drink more water

I know it sounds boring, but drinking more water instead of juice or pop will save you money. Add some lemon or some peppermint to flavor it up a bit.

10. Turn it off

Turn off the lights when you leave the room.  Unplug things you aren’t using.  Small amounts of electricity add up to big savings over time.

11. Get out and stretch your legs

Skip the gym and the monthly fees. Go for a walk or hike a local trail.  Try working out at home.

12. Go meatless

Have you ever tried meatless Monday? Or cooking vegetarian meals several times a week? Meat is expensive, save some money and opt for beans and rice or vegetarian once or twice a week.

13. Hang it to dry

If you have the room install a clothesline or indoor clothing rack.  Hanging your clothing to dry will save you electricity and extend the life of your clothes.

14. Do you cook? 

Some people just don’t like to cook. But home cooking can save you lots of money. Even if it is simple dishes with 2 or 3 ingredients. Checkout this meal plan to give you some inspiration.

15. Make your own

Do you make your own cleaners?  Do you make your own mixes? Do you make your own gifts? Learning how to DIY will save you money.

16. Grab a jar and fill it

Fill it with all your loose change.  Don’t spend it, just save it.  Fill it till it’s full then do something fun with it.  Plan a family movie night or go bowling or have a picnic at the lake.

17. Frugal dating

Did you know you can have an amazing romantic date without breaking the bank? Picnics in the park, a walk by the lake or breakfast in bed.

18. Did you freeze it? 

Did you know there are over 75 foods you can freeze to save money?

19. Paint it

You really don’t like the room design, but you don’t have the money for a renovation.  Paint it.  A fresh coat of paint could make the world of difference and save your pocket book.

20. Try the carpool lane

Have you thought about walking to work, taking public transport or carpooling? If this works in your area it might just save you some money.

21. Delay the reward

I know you really, really want it right now. But if you could just save up for it the reward will be much sweeter.

22. Put the credit card away

Pay with cash.  Use cash envelopes to help keep track of your money.  Paying with cash makes you more aware of your spending habits.

23. Skip the extras

Turn off all the unnecessary costly apps on your phone or tablet.  Cancel the magazine subscriptions. Skip the meals out.

24. Learn to live more frugally

Simple easy changes can save you a lot of money.

25. Take some time for you

Slow down, smell the roses. Take a step back from the rush, rush.
