Frugal Home Tips
Anywhere we can be frugal is great in this economy. There are so many ways to save around the apartment and most of these are so easy to do. Follow these money saving tips and keep money in your pocket!
Do everything yourself! Whether it's cleaning or mowing the lawn or something else, doing it yourself is always free.
Make sure you have a full load of laundries before you use the washer. That way, you are using the least amount of energy per cloth!
Whenever you aren't using the water tap, turn it off to conserve water. You don't need it for most of the time that you are showering anyway.
Same as laundry, so save a full load before you use the dish washer. Actually, just hand wash everything. It's much cheaper!
That grass doesn't need to be cut every week. Cut it every 2 weeks instead and you will save half your maintenance cost.
Wireless minutes are usually wasted. It doesn't' matter if you have rollover if you never use those minutes right? Call your cell phone provider and get a cheaper plan.
Turn the temperature of the fridge up a little bit. You don't need to create sub freezing temperatures with everything inside.
Getting a new fridges can actually save you money in the long run because the new ones are all energy efficient. Look for the symbol when you buy a new fridge from Best Buy or something.
Ventilating fans are great in the summer but make sure they are turning the right way so it doesn't take heat out of the house in the winter.
When it's day time, open the blinds so heat can warm the room. Most of the time you probably don't need so much air conditioning anyway.
