In the House Money Saving Tips
Every penny saved is money in our pockets. With the economy in such a bad shape, it really is crucial that we spend some time trying to figure out ways to save more money for ourselves. Here are a few areas that you can easily do around the house to make sure that you aren't wasting money.
The hot water heater is probably too hot. Change it to 110 to 120 degrees and you will still be fine.
Do not just dump all your softeners and detergents in at the beginning. There's a time for these and if you don't follow instructions, you will be wasting much of it.
If you put towels under your doors, it won't let the heat escape through to the outside. This simple trick saved me so much money in the winter.
Same as laundry, so save a full load before you use the dish washer. Actually, just hand wash everything. It's much cheaper!
When your toilet or faucet are leaking, fix it right away because you are wasting water all the time if it's not fixed.
Cut the landline if you don't need it. Most cell phones are adequate these days and you don't really need more than one line anyway.
Cut the cable too. Netflix is so much cheaper and you can watch tv shows on hulu.com etc nowadays. Cable is becoming something that's not needed
If there are rooms that you don't go to often, seal off the vents to the room so heat and air conditioning isn't wasted.
Install a programmable thermostat and set the temperature so it automatically goes down when you sleep and turns back up when you come back from work.
Interest rates are so low that you should really consider refinancing your home. Every percentage point can be huge money for you in the long run.
