Money Saving Check: Discount Ideas, Prudent Cues
April 18th, 2009 by Donald EvansA certain method to tighten the belt is ending TV watching. You’ll be less exposed to ads that guilt you into spending money and put the mentality of throwing away hard earned money to have fun or other expensive miscues into your head.
Gifts for birthdays, Easter, Christmas and other occasions can enormously dent your savings or credit card balance. You can make presents more cheaply such as cake mixes, candles, cookies or unique crafts. They excude a warm, homey ambiance and often are more enjoyable. Including a special note with the gift adds to the enjoyment of the gift. Even a nice design on a personalized check adds a pleasant touch, and no one knows that you purchased them at fifty percent off at a discount checks source.
Set up a yard sale to free up space and make some money. Toss those things that you do not use and move it along. If you don’t have enough items to put on a sale, you can combine yours with items from your neighbors and have a neighborhood sale. You can also cart them off to a consignment shop and get a tax deduction. You will feel a whole lot better un-cluttering your place.
Make a large batch of your favorite dinner and portion it into several servings and freeze. Instead of eating out in fast food places, simply defreeze your portions you’ve already made and put them in the oven. This allows you to sock away money and time as long as you allow time for the cooking time in the oven.
Remind yourself to turn off the lights that you are not using in your home. A kilowatt hour of electrical energy costs $.10 per kWh with the average light bulb using 20 watts. If you flip the switch off five light bulbs for a period of two hours, you will save yourself 10 cents. That doesn’t sound like a lot of money saved, but in a year’s time, you will have freed up almost $40.
A further method to save some some change is to order books or DVD’s from your county library and ask for them to be shipped to a library nearby for pickup. Or, you can exchange DVD’s, videotapes and books with your friends; online resources for to exchange DVD’s and books are also available.
Raise some of your own vegetables like tomatoes. They are great for salads and soups and cost very little. If you don’t have much space for a garden, a bucket will do well to start tomato plants. You can purchase one tomato, take the seeds, plant them in a tray under a wet paper towel and then transplant the ones that sprout in the bucket. If you have a garden area, gophers don’t seem to like tomatoes, so you should have a safe crop outside.
Yard sales are a great source of bargains. Often the yard sales in your neck of the woods. You can find great bargains no doubt. And if you find a large number of items to purchase from one seller, negotiate for a lower price. Remember, at the end of the day, the seller wants to get rid of their stuff, so negotiate a lower price. A lot of garage sale items end up in the Salvation Army the following day and you will be doing the seller a favor by offering any kind of price.
