Frugal Home Tips
If you are like me, you really love saving money. In fact, you are probably addicted to saving money. Over the years, I have come up with many amazing ways to save money around the house. Here are a few that anyone can implement and save lots of money.
Dryers are crazy energy drains. At all times, try to hang your clothes instead and not only will you save money, your clothes will last longer too!
Make sure you have a full load of laundries before you use the washer. That way, you are using the least amount of energy per cloth!
Whenever you aren't using the water tap, turn it off to conserve water. You don't need it for most of the time that you are showering anyway.
Same as laundry, so save a full load before you use the dish washer. Actually, just hand wash everything. It's much cheaper!
When your toilet or faucet are leaking, fix it right away because you are wasting water all the time if it's not fixed.
Turn off every light that you don't use. Actually, it's even better if you unplug the light fixtures when you don't need the light.
Cut the cable too. Netflix is so much cheaper and you can watch tv shows on hulu.com etc nowadays. Cable is becoming something that's not needed
Some plants are much easier to maintain and some will even become food for you and your family. Find the right plants to grow instead of useless ones like roses which is only pretty for 2 weeks out of the year.
Install a programmable thermostat and set the temperature so it automatically goes down when you sleep and turns back up when you come back from work.
When it's day time, open the blinds so heat can warm the room. Most of the time you probably don't need so much air conditioning anyway. - 16931
