I thought that I would share a few more tips that we have used on our Frugal Living journey.
Make homemade gifts. I have found that when I do so I get the satisfaction of creating something, and our sons are so very happy to receive them.
Turn the water heater down a little bit. You can save almost $400.00 a year doing so.
Try not to use paper towels or paper napkins. I do use paper towels for really messy clean ups, but I am thinking of trying to make some cloth ones. I mostly use rags made from old clothes. You could save almost $200.00 a year if you switch to cloth.
Do not let the water run when you handwash dishes.
Change your lightbulbs to LED. Savings could be almost $200.00 by doing so. They also last much longer than regular bulbs or CFL's.
Don't use your credit card unless you can pay it off each and every month.
Practice thrifting or shopping at consignment stores. Now you can also shop garage sales online.
Buy clothing at your favourite stores after a season ends. Clearance racks have awesome reduction in prices.
I hope that some of these tips strike a cord and help you in these trying times.
Everyone have a wonderful evening.
God bless.
