In these hard times, it is better to be
spending less than feeling sorry. Like many of people out there, I have been
taken care of a mother who is very practical and really hate to spend money as
much as possible. She said that we should always find an alternative way on
things just to prevent us from spending money. Food, books, and many more, we
learned that there are always a way to pinch up the hard-earned money from our
parents.
Here are some simple tips to stretch out
your money just a little further.
All
in the House
1.)
Drop the Last Energy of Battery
After you take a dying battery out of a
high power gadget, try putting it on a low-energy appliances or gadgets like a
TV remote control or even on a clock. But never mix old batteries with new one.
Better yet, to really save up expenses on these batteries, invest in
rechargeable batteries.
2.)
Give everything a Second Chance
There are countless items inside the
house to give a proper recycling and to give them another life, another
purpose:
Save up plastic bags like the ones you
get from groceries or from shopping. These plastics can be used when it is
needed by the kids from carrying things like projects or any other items or, it
can be used as liners for a small trashcan or wastebasket.
Ice cream containers can be used as containers
for storing different items. Just make sure you clean them thoroughly.
Coffee containers can have a new life by
making it a container for different spices or for different kitchen ingredients
to minimize the space in your cupboard.
Shopping
Goods
3.)
Shopping Once a Week
Shopping what you need once a week can
make you list down all the things you’re going to use. Saves up gas, money and
important time.
4.)
Buy a mix of Ripe and not so Ripe Fruits and
In this kind of buying, you can already
eat the ripe fruits and then during the week, you can eat those fruits and
vegetable that had ripened recently. And
5.)
Use Fast-Food Finds
Use those salt, pepper, sugar, creamer,
ketchup, hot sauce and many more to be able to use them later at home instead
of tossing them out. After all, you can request a little more condiments while
at the restaurant.
There are more other way other people
are doing when it comes to saving and keeping their money at hand. If you would
like to add them up here, you can comment or e-mail me. We could help each
other out and find ways together to improve our saving and thrift capacity.
