MONEY SAVING
10 Ways To Save $50 Per Month
by Kimberly A. Griffiths
1. Save up to 50% per month on convenience cleaner cloths by
cutting them into half, i.e. dryer softener cloths, face cleanser
cloths, etc. Savings: $5 per month
2. Find more thoughtful gifts and buy when the item is on sale,
shop for birthdays and holidays throughout the year not at the
time of the events. Savings: $10 per month
3. Bring your lunch to work once a week instead of eating out.
Savings: $7 x 4 weeks = $28 per month
4. Don??™t go to the coffee shop on the weekends. Savings: 2 visits
@ $2 = $4 per week x 4 weeks = $16 per month
5. If you carry a balance on your credit card, and you??™re only
able to afford paying the minimum monthly amount, pay weekly
installments instead of one monthly payment. For example, if you
owe $100 per month, pay $25 per week. Because credit card
companies accrue interest daily on your balance, paying only once
a month is a huge detriment to your fiscal health. Savings: $10 -
$100 per month (or more!)
6. Instead of a family night out, consider having an old fashion
picnic together or a bike ride. Curbing entertainment costs
doesn??™t mean curbing the fun. Savings: $25+ per month
7. Spend a day cooking meals that can be frozen for later use for
your family. Once a Month Cooking, a book by Mary Beth Lagerborg
and Mimi Wilson, features grocery lists and recipes to prepare and
freeze a month??™s worth of food for you and your family. Not only
are you able to purchase the food in bulk, this method prevents
having to throw away any spoiled food. Savings: $50+ per month
8. If you are a regular monthly book buyer, stop the habit and
visit your library instead! If you insist on buying books, buy it
used at your local store or online at merchants such as
www.half.com or
www.amazon.com. Even a better
idea, how about selling the books you have that you don??™t need!
Savings: $5 - 15 per month
9. Use less expensive gasoline. If you live in North America and
have Internet access, you are able to search for the cheapest gas
price in your neighborhood with Gas Buddy,
www.gasbuddy.com. Savings:
$5 - 15 per month
10. Use two-for-one coupons when dining out; search for these in
local newspapers, flyers, and in your ???junk mail.??? If you are a
group of four or more people, consider buying dining certificates
at Restaurant.com,
www.restaurant.com. After choosing your city and state on the
Website, you will be presented with a listing of restaurants vying
for your dining dollar! Savings: $5- $50 per month
