SAVING MONEY AT HOME AND WORK
Money Saving Tips at Home and at Work Saving money at home and at work is more than possible, and doing so is very helpful and practical. Those unused lights in the room or the unnecessary air conditioning – they will help lower the electric bill once turned off.
SAVING ON FOOD
1.)Bring your own water bottle to work or school. Drinking water is expensive, especially when you need to drink every now and then. If the office has a fridge in the pantry but has no drinking fountains, bringing your own water bottle can really cut costs.
2.)Packing your lunch is one obvious way of saving money. Fast food and dining at restaurants can chop off a great deal of your allowance if done on a regular basis. Imagine how much you could save by bringing your own lunch to work, even for just four days a week. Instead of just bringing your own water, why not go all the way and pack your own meal to save money.
3.)Refrigerate your leftovers. Wasted food is wasted money, so don’t leave leftovers on the table because you will end up throwing it out. The more often you throw out food the more often you buy food, which obviously means spending more than necessary.
SAVING ON GAS/COMMUTE EXPENSES
1.)If you have a bike at home, use it sometimes for doing errands that are close by. It will help save up on gas and also work you up a sweat. Some exercises will contribute to a healthier body, which in turn means fewer sick leaves and lower medical expenses.
2.)On days when there is not enough money to spend, consider staying in for dinner or using what money you have left to buy groceries. Instead of eating out, cook at home. Doing so will help you save on other related expenses, like getting gas for the car.
OTHER WAYS TO SAVE
1.)Overspending on hygiene products is a big “no” for people who are hygiene conscious. Firstly, half of these products are usually forgotten when a more interesting one is found. Most beauty products at home are either still half full when new ones are bought. What happens is when they are discovered later on to be still useful, they are already expired and useless. Making hair shine and skin silk smooth might be a critical thing for most women, but it is advised to avoid buying more until the current products have been used up. If a certain beauty product does not seem to work well, don’t just leave it at home – give it away to someone who might want it.
2.)A fun way of saving is putting a jar on the table near the door. When commuting or coming home, whatever change you have in your pocket, drop them into the jar. Make this a daily habit and, sooner or later, it will start to build up into a little treasure. It’s also a great way of finding extra change in case you run out of money to pay the cab.
3.)Going over your monthly bills won’t lessen them in an instant, but seeing how much you have spent so far will certainly make an impact. It might also give you an idea where to cut back on. It will also reveal more unpaid taxes and debts.
