21. You can have your own yard sale to make a little extra money
and get rid of the items around the house you never use anyway.
22. Buy things that are on sale if you use them regularly, if you
don’t then don’t buy them just because they are on sale unless they
cost the same as a similar item you normally buy.
23. When shopping for your meats buy family packs of meat then
separate them into meals when you get home and put them into the
freezer. This will save you money because family packs are cheaper.
24. Drink more tea and less soda. Tea is cheaper to make, lasts
longer, and is better for you than sugary sodas.
25. Limit your family’s snacks to one or two a week. This is
better for their health and their teeth, not to mention it will save
on your grocery bill.
26. Grow your own vegetables. If your family likes vegetables you
can grow them yourself and freeze or can them for later.
27. Let your children ride the bus to school. This will save you
time and money. Gas isn’t getting any cheaper these days.
28. Always turn off all lights and electrical appliances when you
leave a room. Teach your children to do the same.
29. If you must have Internet service, subscribe to dial-up. It’s
a lot cheaper. If you don’t want to for fear of your phone line
being busy, then PeoplePC offers an Internet Call Waiting service
for free for 30 days then after that it will cost you $6.95 a month
if you chose to keep it. With this service you can answer your phone
while on the Internet by just the click of a button so you’ll never
miss a call again. If you don’t choose to keep it they give you
Caller Id. on your computer for free. So, the next time someone
calls you and you are on the Internet you will know that they have
called and you can call them right back after you get off.
30. If you have to go into town then do everything you need to do
for that week in one trip. It saves time and gas.
