Ways to Save Money Everyday
1. BE HAPPY WITH WHAT YOU HAVE
Hebrews 13:5 Make sure that your character is free from the love of money be content with what you have....
Live beneath your means and think about what you already have instead of what you need.
2. INVENTORY YOUR HOUSEHOLD POSSESSIONS
Spend a Saturday doing this. Take a video of your home and make a list and you will be prepared if disaster ever strikes. Place in a fire safe box.
3. USE PAPER TOWELS LESS
Use cloth napkins and other cloth items. Laura has a set of 12 and with a family of 4 can wash them about once a week.
4. USE LESS DETERGENTS - YOU ONLY NEED HALF OF WHAT THE CONTAINER SAYS
The manufacturers want you to use more so you run out. Try it - you will be amazed at how long it lasts.
5. CLEAN YOUR HOUSE YOURSELF
Use our cloths we recommend - they make cleaning your house in half the time. Cleaning Tips.
6. BUY 2 LITERS OF SODA INSTEAD OF CANNED
7. USE THE APPROPRIATE WATTAGE FOR A LIGHT FIXTURE.
When you place a 100 watt light bulb in a 60 watt light fixture you are wasting money. The lower the wattage the less expensive.
