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.
