Want an extra $2,000 at the end of the year? Use these savings tips.
1. Shop discount stores for groceries before going to your regular
grocery store. Save 20% or more on your grocery bill without coupons!
2. Get free stuff on Craigslist. People give away the most amazing
things. Get a new dining room table, a trampoline, etc. for free.
3. Buy yourself a cup of coffee. When you pour a cup in the morning
instead of buying at Starbucks, put $2 into an envelope.
4. Avoid online subscriptions you only use once in a while; also check
your services to be sure you're not paying for more than you use.
5. Avoid running to the store to buy food spontaneously. Many of us
have lost the art of figuring out meals. Look through your pantry and try to
put together meals from what you have.
6. Replace TV cable with a digital antenna. These are tastefully
designed to disappear into the background.
7. Use a no-access jar for coins. Once upon a time, piggy banks had no
hole in the bottom and you had to break them to get the money. Get a large
pickle jar, punch a slit in the top for coins, then super-glue the lid on.
