Question

What are some ways you save money? Even little things you do...?

Answer 1

Pack my lunch every day at work, when we do go out we look on restuarant.com and see if we can buy 50% coupons in advance (we save anywhere from $30-$40 each time), we keep a change jar and empty our pockets out each day, finally we buy $5 in scratch off tickets each time we go to the grocery store - each time we get a winner we save it and turn it in every 3-4 months- that money goes into our jar as well.

Answer 2

Pay yourself first.  When you get paid, before you pay any bills put $10 or $20 in a savings account.  If you go ahead and do that first you won't be tempted to spend it.  Another thing that is supposed to work is to write down everything you spend.  Do this for a week or a month and see where you can cut corners.  If you buy coffee out or buy your lunch out then start taking it from home.  You can save a lot that way.  Also, when you grocery shop, look at what's on sale and shop accordingly.  Some generics are as good as name brand but cost a lot less.  Also, if you buy name brands use coupons.  Try to buy groceries for the whole week so you aren't running to the store every day or every other day.  Combine your outings.  Try to do all of your errands in one trip so you aren't running to the grocery store one day, the post office another day, the bank a different day, the gas station another day, etc.  You'll save gas by combining your trips.

Answer 3

Eating at home saves money rather than eating takeout food!

Answer 4

Turn lights, TV, radio, and computer off when not in use.

Keep AC on a set temperature (not too cold).  Change AC filters often

Walk, if possible, instead of using car

Car pool

Shop for some things at thrift shops

(And I agree with the eating out!  Most of my credit card charges are to restaurants!)

Answer 6

Stay away from coffee shops

Stay away from vending machines

I take my own lunch including drink to work

Shop with a list and stick to it. Avoid impulse buying

Stock up on sale items you use everyday

Use coupons, but only for things you normally buy

Take advantage of buy one, get on free. Drug and grocery stores do it all the time.

When eating out, look for restaurants that offer half off the second meal or kids eat free.

Buy in bulk if you can use all of the product before it expires.

Shop for Christmas all year and avoid credit card use at holiday time.

Answer 8

1. I wont go out with friends if there is no ocassion like bdays so that way I can save money because they will treat me LOL.

2. I carry small amount of money enough for one day so it is really budgeted.

3. every pay day, I will deposit 10% of my salary to the bank. and I will leave the ATM and pass book at home in a safety place so I cant spend them, lock it there LOL

4. I always list down things that I need when I shop only basics because I conditioned myself not to spend so much since I need to save money so I would rather buy cheap items but good quality.

5. If there are things to be repaired I would ask for a good neighbors to fix it for free, just let them have a snacks at home LOL

6. except from working Mon-Fri, I would think of good ways to earn money on weekends like making a chocolate mallows or peanut butter jam to sell in the office during lunch break

7. thinking of part time job to have additional income

Answer 9

I gave up fast food and started eating frozen dinners and that sort from the grocery store.

fast food=$3+

frozen dinner=$1

Also its easier to save money when you dont take money with you when you go somewhere, or carry less money. So therefore you have no money to use.

I hope i could help :)

Answer 10

Anytime you buy something put the change in a jar.  When the jar is full take it to the bank and put it in your savings account.  You will be surprised how much you can save this  way.  Good Luck on saving.
