112 ways to save money
Saving money seems like an impossible task, but not when you have the right tips. The Consumerist has compiled a list which includes 112 ways to save money. You’re guaranteed to find at least one tip that can work for you. You can read the entire list here.
- Some interesting highlights from the list include:
- Kill your cable: Cut loose that sacred cow of budgets: your cable TV. Use sites like www.hulu.com and watch shows on network websites for FREE. Sign up for www.redbox.com and get one free movie on Monday. Every week. For FREE.
- Stick pens in the microwave when they stop working: When your pen ceases to write, it probably still has a great deal of ink in it that is just stuck temporarily. instead of throwing it out, stick your pen in the microwave for 10 seconds to get that ink running again.
- Don’t buy kids’ new clothes: Do not buy children’s clothes, especially infant clothes, first-hand unless they are a gift or some kind of special souvenir.
- Get “The Tightwad Gazette” by Amy Dacyczyn from your local public library: Read, mark, learn and inwardly digest. You may even be able to pick up a free copy from Freecycle.org (another useful site forsaving money and doing good).
- SAVE 50-70% on home improvement: If you’re planning a home improvement project, check with Habitat For Humanity’s “ReStore” Facilities in your area. Prices are 50-70% lower than they are elsewhere. http://www.habitat.org/cd/env/restore.aspx. Also, check with local builders for any properties that are going to get demolished. Old fixtures, tubs, etc. can sometimes be scavenged and sold at a profit or used in your own renovations.
