Check out these 4 fresh saving tips and see how you can start to implement them in your life today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>1. INSTALL CFL (COMPACT FLUORESCENT LIGHTS) BULBS<\/p>\n<p><\/b><\/h4>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">These bulbs might cost more initially, but they both have a longer life than normal incandescent bulbs and they use significantly less electricity. CFLs tend to use about 25% of the electricity of an incandescent and LEDs use about 2%. CFLs are cheaper than LEDs right now and produce better light, but not quite as good as incandescent bulbs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">My policy? Put LEDs in closets and out of the way places, use CFLs for hall and some room lighting, and use incandescent bulbs (until the other bulbs get better) where you read and do other eye-intensive activities. This will trim a nice chunk from your Eskom bill!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>2. BUY APPLIANCES BASED ON RELIABILITY<\/p>\n<p><\/b><\/h4>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s worth the time to do a bit of research when you buy a new appliance. A reliable, energy efficient washer and dryer might cost you quite a bit now, but if it continually saves you energy and lasts for fifteen years, you\u2019ll save significant money in the long run. When you need to buy an appliance, research it \u2013 start with your Facebook friends!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>3. CLEAN YOUR CAR\u2019S AIR FILTER<\/p>\n<p><\/b><\/h4>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">A clean air filter can improve your fuel consumption by up to 7%. Plus, cleaning your air filter is easy to do in just a few minutes \u2013 just follow the instructions in your car\u2019s manual and you\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>4. DON\u2019T KEEP YOUR CREDIT CARDS IN YOUR WALLET<\/p>\n<p><\/b><\/h4>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Take your credit cards and put them in a safe place in your home, not in your wallet where it\u2019s easy to spend them. If you argue that you need it for \u201cemergencies,\u201d just be sure to keep a small amount of cash hidden in your wallet for these emergencies. Don\u2019t keep plastic on you until you have the willpower to not use it &#8211; even when you\u2019re sorely tempted!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">That\u2019s the freshest five saving tips for June!<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>4 EVERYDAY SAVING TIPS My end-of-the-month saving tips have been really popular and so once again I\u2019m happy to share this month\u2019s list with you.
