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.
