There are so many simple and small things in life that we miss or forget and cost us money in the long run\u2026 like the R45\/m subscription to a magazine that you don\u2019t actually read anymore, or that antique-looking bookcase that you paid a fortune for at <i>The Block &amp; Chisel<\/i> that you could have got for a fraction of the price at an actual antique store.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Check out these 5 fresh saving tips and see how you can start to save, even more, today!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>1. DO A MAINTENANCE RUN ON YOUR APPLIANCES<\/b><\/h4>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Check them to make sure there isn\u2019t any dust clogging them and that they\u2019re fairly clean. Look behind the appliances and use your vacuum to gently clear away dust. Check all of the vents, especially on refrigerators, dryers, and heating and cooling units.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The less dust you have blocking the mechanics of these devices, the more efficiently they\u2019ll run (saving you on your energy bill) and the longer they\u2019ll last (saving you on replacement costs).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>2. CANCEL UNUSED MEMBERSHIPS OR SUBSCRIPTIONS<\/b><\/h4>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Are you paying subscription fees for a membership or service that you never use? Like, for instance, a gym membership or that premium courier service with Amazon? Cancel these memberships, even if you think you might use them again some day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can always renew the membership at a later date if it turns out that you actually do miss it, and what you\u2019ve saved in monthly fees will probably cover your re-instatement fee should there be one.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>3. CONSIDER BUYING SECOND-HAND BEFORE YOU BUY NEW<\/b><\/h4>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Quite often, you can find the exact item you want with a bit of clever shopping at used equipment stores, used game stores, second-hand furniture stores and so on. Just make these shops part of your normal routine \u2013 go there first when looking for potential items and you will save money.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>4. KEEP YOUR HANDS CLEAN<\/b><\/h4>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">This one\u2019s simple \u2013 just wash your hands thoroughly each time you use the bathroom or handle raw foods. You\u2019ll keep yourself from acquiring all kinds of viruses and bacteria, saving you on medical bills and medicine costs and lost productivity!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>5. REMOVE YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBERS FROM YOUR ONLINE ACCOUNTS.<\/b><\/h4>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s easy to spend online when you have your card information stored in an account \u2013 just click and buy. The best way to break this habit is to simply delete your card from the account.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">That way, when you\u2019re tempted to spend, you\u2019ll be forced to spend the time to dig out your card \u2013 and really think about why you\u2019re spending this money.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Howzat!
