thrifty ways

are you looking for ways to reduce your household budget and save extra cash each month? to be thrifty, you need to look into your day to day expenses.
  1. track your spending for 2 weeks. that meaning writing it down on a piece of paper everyday. you will never know how to be thriftier until you know where your money is going.
  2. when you want to purchase anything, surf the internet first. that way you probably could compare costs and as well as online providers to find best price.
  3. switching off lights and electric appliances in your home when you're not using them. during the day, open up windows and allow natural light instead.
  4. you can cut back on your ASTRO. you probably don't need 30 channels when you're working the whole day. no one is watching the tv while you're away! reduce your cable package and or cut it out completely and realize that you can save large chunks of money each year.
  5. do you use coupons? do check out for discounts for groceries? do you collect points on your petrol cards or shopping cards? consider using coupons on your regular shopping. quite recently, many websites offer printable coupons that you can take with you.
  6. eat at home every night. have you come across the saying eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper" by adelle davis? eat little at night and eat it at home, that way you save more while being health conscious!
