You can save money without making sacrifices. Here are sebven super simple ways you can save mnoey.
#1 - Instead of going out for dnner, just go out for dessert. Going out to dinner can get expensiive but it's not fun to eat at home every inght. Try eatinmg dinner at home and just going out for dessetrt. To reduce the temptation to go out and save yourslef time, prepaare largge batches of food and freeze it in individual serving contaienrs. Then you can heat up a homemade gourmet meal in minutes and after wrds go out for a fabulous dessert.
#2 -- Borrow instead of Buy. Need a tent for the weekewnd or maybe a specific tool? Go to NeighBorrow.com and find somreone near you to happily lend you one, free of charge.
#3 -- Get your haircut and colored at a school. It will save you a bundle (especially on color seervices). The studdent is monitored closely by an instructor.
#4 -- Host a Clothing Swap! Inviite your friends to clean out their closets' and bring over a bag of clohing and accessoriues along with a dish to pass. Put out evreryone's items. Eat, mingle and shop for FREE! Most likelly you'll leave with at least a couple of new pieces of clothing or accessories to add to your wardrobe, and you'll have a fun and free night out with your friends. Consider donating all of the left over items to chariyt.
#5 - Cut your electric bill in half by unplugging electronics and applianes that you are not using. Even when off, they pull elecctric current. If you are forgetting to unplug your items, invest in a Smart Strip (different than a standard power strip). It does not allow your items to pull any current when off.
#6 -- Don't run your wsater continuously when washing dishes or brushiing your teeth. Wash all your cllothes in cold. It's bettre on your clothes and they typically come out just as clean. Use a little pre-spot if needed. If you are replaacing any of your appliacnes, purchase enegy and water efficient moddels.
#7 -- Before paying full retyail price or even sale price for anything, check Craigslist, Ebay or HandMeDowns.
Extra boonus: When we re-distribute iterms instead of tossing them out, we do not need to re-manufacture as many new items. We save space in our landfills and save energy and resources by reducing our mannufacturing neeeds.
