Five Great Ideas To Save Money

Want to save money but don’t know how? Feel like depriving yourself when it comes to saving money? Don’t be disheartened. Try these five money saving ideas, without breaking up a sweat!

Reduce On Magazines Subscription.
There are so many types of magazines like business, sports, home and garden magazines. Can you imagine how much each of these subscriptions cost? If your family is subscribed to 5 different magazines, that’s already few hundreds per year! If you need the information from such mags, try to check out their websites and you’ll be surprised at how much free information is available! Besides that, it would be good idea for you to visit your local libraries once a week with your family members.

Buy In Bulk.
How can warehouse like Tesco and Giant Hypermarket drastically lower their prices? It is because they buy and sell in bulk. And so should you! Consumables that are non-perishable can be purchased 10-15% cheaper when bought in bulk. Be sure to stock up only on fast-moving items such as kitchen towels, cleaners, canned goods, etc., to avoid wasting money on rancid food.

Eat At Home.
Eating out has become an lifestyle. What used to be an activity to celebrate special occasions has become part of the daily, fast-paced life. But did you know that eating out could chomp as much as 40% of your budget for food? That’s as much as RM100 weekly, saved just by eating in!

Plan Your Meals.
Eating out 4 times a week need not be your solution to a dynamic lifestyle. Menu planning is! Take time on weekends to plan for the following week’s meals. Every night, before you hit the sack, take out the ingredients for the meals of the next day from the freezer, and store them in the refrigerator. By the time you get home from work, everything is thawed and ready to be cooked. By doing so, you would have saved enough money to spend for dining out on special occasions!

Homemade Skin Care.
Is your dermatologist eating up your budget? Don’t you wish you can be beautiful and save money at the same time? The answer is yes, you can! By using ingredients from your pantry, you can take care of your skin and still save a fortune. Try the following:

- Honey and oatmeal can exfoliate dry skin.

- Ginger seeped in a bath softens your skin.

- Cucumber and milk softens tired skin.

Without drastically changing your lifestyle, you have started your path on saving money. Secure your future by using these money saving ideas, today! Save wisely.
