There are so many ways to save money that require very little effort. Hopefully, some of these tips from wisebread.com will have your finances looking healthier in no time:
- Buy a Sunday paper – The initial outlay will be offset (and more) by the amount you can save using the many coupons that the Sunday paper generally contains.
- Grow your own herbs – This will save you buying from the supermarket every time you need some (and your food will taste nicer too).
- Use online banking to pay bills and keep track of your money; it’s easy and you can set up email reminders and automatic payments to help you avoid late fees, too.
- If you want to entertain without spending too much on food, invite people for brunch rather than dinner – you’ll save on groceries and alcohol.
- Go online when you want to make a purchase and see if there are any coupons or discount codes for the product or store you’re interested in.
- Washing clothes in cold water doesn’t alter the effectiveness of the cleaning process or detergent, so switch to cold water washing where possible to save energy.
