1. Shop the sales. When shopping for groceries and household items, look out for sales and discounts. You can often save a lot of money if you buy items when they are on sale. If you were not thinking of buying something please do not buy it just because it is on sale. Just because it’s on sale does not mean you are saving money, for example $0 is less than what ever the sale price of that item is. So unless it’s free, we are actually be spending extra money, not saving.
2. Store food properly. Properly storing food can help it last longer. For example, storing certain items in the refrigerator can extend their shelf life. While items such as potatoes, garlic and onions, should be stored in a dark and cool place outside of the fridge.
3. Make use of natural light. Using natural light can be an efficient way to brighten up your home. It can give you different types of light throughout the day. Not to mention, this will also help to save money on light bill as well.
4. Use generic brands. Generic brands are often cheaper than name-brand products and can be just as good. You can use generic brands for food as well as supplies for your home.
5. Shop second-hand. Second-hand stores are a great place to find gently used items at a fraction of the cost.
6. Reuse items. Before buying something new, think about if you can reuse something you already have. For example, you can reuse glass jars to store food or use old clothes to make a quilt. You can even use old items to make new decorations to beautify your home.
7. Get creative with meals. Get creative with meals by using ingredients you already have in your pantry or fridge. This can help reduce food waste and save money.
8. Clean with natural products. Natural products, such as baking soda, vinegar, and lemon juice, can be used for cleaning instead of expensive store-bought cleaning products.
