Save Time and Money
The below tips have been previously published at "Save Time and Money". Save on buying gas - it's so expensive right now. Find out how to take care of your car in order to maximize gas mileage. Find the lowest deals on gas in your area, as well. If you belong to a Costco or Sam's Club, check out their gas prices - sometimes their deals are untouchable. Last weekend (9-2-06) we got gas at Sam's for $2.77 - there was nothing anywhere close to that low. Check here for more on how to get your car optimized so you can get better mileage. Find more ways to economize. If you regularly buy soda pop, buy the store brands for a lot less, in the big bottles, not in cans. Many taste very similar or even better than the big brands - although you might have to try them from different stores, since some store brands may taste gross to you (there is one store that has consistently bad flavors in their store brand sodas - but most others are just great). When cooking, cook in quantity and then warm the leftovers up a day ro so later, or better yet, place in the freezer and eat a week later - more variety then. I have a friend who puts all leftovers, no matter how small the amount, in the freezer. At the end of each week, she puts the whole variety into a pot with some water, lets it simmer, and serves "leftover soup" - her kids love it. Make your own coffee - gourmet coffee houses may have great tasting coffee, but can add up in huge bills each month - people have spent a hundred dollars per month at gourmet coffee houses! All you need is coffee beans (in this case also a grinder) or ground coffee, a coffee maker or a special coffee drip pot with a filter (or even a small sieve you can submerse into a mug of boiling water will do in a pinch), and then a few flavorings - like cream or milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, a chunk of chocolate to scrape, or perhaps butterscotch or caramel ice cream flavorings. Use your imagination and come up with new flavors too! Buy a small cappuccino maker to use for steaming and frothing your cream or milk, and for making the espresso shots. When going out to eat, drink water - have your milk or soda at home. It will be a lot cheaper - the drink cost in eating out can be huge - and the drinks only cost the restaurant pennies to serve you. Use coupons - pull out coupons you'd use and put them in a file for the week or the month that you will go through - only keep coupons that you use or you'll feel too overwhelmed to look through them - keep them in your car or look through them before taking off on errands. Pay attention to rebate offers and send them in promptly - most people let these rebates lapse and never get their money back. Eat healthy - more fresh fruits, fresh or steamed vegetables, and whole grain foods - less eating out, less processed or instant food (less nutrition, more pure junk and fillers) - you can save yourself not only money and calories, but also trips to the doctor for bad health or high cholesterol. Clean with vinegar or baking soda, or use carbonated water (without the sugar in it) to fizzle up spill stains on your carpet - not everything needs to be an expensive store or national brand. One great cleaner is sold in concentrate by the handicapped association - buy it and dilute it for use and it will last a long time When something you use is on sale, buy it then - try to do without until it's on sale, if you can.
Buy in bulk and then store the excess in the freezer or in air tight containers - cheese and butter freeze nicely for quite awhile in the freezer (cheese should be defrosted slowly or in the microwave in short 5-10 second increments - defrosted cheese is better for cooking or baking, not for snacking). Fill up your car with gas when the price is low, and gas up more often while it's high - try to time it so you can maximize your low gas cost. If your grocery offers a discount on gas, make it a habit to fill up when you shop for groceries (sometimes a larger purchase at the store will net you greater discounts). You can get better gas mileage by: keeping your tires at correct air pressure, driving at the speed limit, keeping your car maintained - change the oil every 3000-5000 miles, new air filter, etc. See more hints at Car & Driving Tips Blog ~~~~~~~~~~
