Money Saving Tips

Thought I would post a few things we do to try and save money. I don't wash baggies or hang out clothes. Not because those things aren't worth doing but I get baggies for free or pennies and we have a huge dog that would pull all the clothes off the line!


~our peak electric hours are from 2pm to 7pm so all laundry, showers and the dishwasher get done before 2 or after 7


~cut my dryer sheets in half


~use grocery bags for trash can liners


~target price for laundry soap is $2.00 or under for 50 fl ounces always stock up when I can and only use half thats recommended


~hot water tank is turned down until 15 minutes before we take showers then gets turned back down


~all light bulbs changed to energy savers as they go out


~use rechargable batteries but do stock up on regular when they are free


~we have no cell phones (I do not miss mine at all like I thought I would!!)


~we have no cable (some people get no TV reception without cable but we don't have that problem)


~entertainment is Redbox usually with a free code


~if we eat out we always try to use a coupon


~we do have an RV that we take to the lake so thats alot of our entertainment in the summer


Thats all I can think of for now. I will continue to post how we save money as I go along.
