5 EVERYDAY SAVING TIPS<\/h3>\n
\n

If you were to think about the choices that you make every day around what you purchase, throw away, borrow, lend and consume, you can begin to think about ways that you can spend your money more wisely and cut back on unnecessary expenses!Saving money doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that you have to compromise your current lifestyle, but you can bring some of the extremes into moderation, like our first point for today.<\/p>\n

If you want to increase your income and enjoy more expendable cash, then you need to re-assess how and where you\u2019re spending your money!\u00a0 Check out these 5 fresh saving tips and see how you can start to implement them in your life today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0 CHECK YOUR EXPENSIVE HABITS<\/b><\/h4>\n
Perhaps you need to cut back \u2013 or give up entirely – expensive habits, like cigarettes and alcohol.\u00a0 Those habits cause money to flow away from you with nothing in return.\u00a0 One pack of siggies a day can cost you up to R10 000 a year!\u00a0 Call up your fortitude and work hard to kick the habits and you\u2019ll find that money staying in your pocket instead of burning up and floating away.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0 COOK LARGE<\/b><\/h4>\n
\n

Make a quadruple batch of a mac and cheese.\u00a0 Pastas are nice, easy dishes to prepare, but on busy nights, it\u2019s often still easier to just order some take-out or eat out or just pop a pre-packaged meal in the microwave.Instead, the next time you make a nice home-cooked meal that will freeze well, make four batches of it and put the other three in the freezer.\u00a0 Then, the next time you need a quick meal for the family, grab one of those batches and just heat it up \u2013 easy as can be.<\/p>\n

Even better, doing this allows you to buy the ingredients in bulk, making each dish cheaper than it would be ordinarily \u2013 and far, far cheaper than eating out or trying a pre-packaged meal.\u00a0 And\u2026 you only have to warm up the oven once.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

3. \u00a0 LIGHTS ARE ON, BUT NOBODY\u2019S HOME<\/b><\/h4>\n
\n

Be diligent about turning off lights before you leave.\u00a0 Burning lights, appliances, TV\u2019s etc use up power that is unnecessary.\u00a0 Whilst it may not seem like a lot, they\u2019re still using power and they\u2019re still costing you money.Regardless of the positive impact this will have on the environment, it will have an immediate impact on your monthly energy bill!\u00a0 With winter approaching, we have more cloudy days, which means that you may turn lights on during the day.\u00a0 When the sun comes out again, remember to turn them off!\u00a0 I just did that in my office.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

4. \u00a0 JOIN A CD, DVD OR BOOK CLUB <\/b><\/h4>\n
Buying the latest DVD or book as soon as it comes out is expensive.\u00a0 Rather look to joining or starting a book, CD or DVD club with your friends and neighbours.\u00a0\u00a0 You only pay a small amount each month and have access to loads more!\u00a0 Best of all, when it\u2019s your month to buy, you get to keep them all at the end of the rotation.\u00a0 Starting asking your colleagues and friends if they\u2019re involved in a similar club, you\u2019ll be surprised at how many are!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

5. \u00a0 CHECK OUT YARD & JUMBLE SALES<\/b><\/h4>\n
Maximize jumble and yard sales. I like to stop by these if I see them, but I recognize that often the stuff there is junk. Thus, I\u2019m careful about what I buy and I use clever tactics to find it \u2013 and lower the prices. That way, I wind up with a really big bargain \u2013 or else I can just walk away with the money in my pocket, having been entertained for a bit.\u00a0 I can\u2019t remember how many times I\u2019ve walked into a friend\u2019s house and seen a really nice article or piece of furniture and when I ask where they bought it, it turns out it was second-hand!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
That\u2019s the freshest five saving tips for May!\u00a0 If you have any suggestions, please send a mail to my online reputation managers and we\u2019ll do our best to use them.<\/div>\n
