Trim Your Budget Without Giving Up Things You Love

You don't have to give up the things you love to save money. You just have to be willing to look hard. Below are some useful tips on trimming your budget. Read the full article, recently published by Liz Pulliam Weston, for even more ways on how to trim your budget.

  • Wash only full loads of dishes or clothes.
  • Turn off lights, TVs, computers and other electronics when not in use or in the room.
  • Install a programmable thermostat so your home is heated or cooled only when you're actually there.
  • Avoid repair bills by maintaining your vehicles properly with regular oil and filter changes. (Print coupons for oil changes at Valpak.com)
  • Bring lunches and snacks to work.
  • Cook once, eat twice: Double whatever you're making and freeze the excess for a later meal.
  • Use the weekly grocery store circulars to see what's on sale and plan meals accordingly. You can also print out grocery coupons from SmartSource, the same company who publishes coupons in your Sunday newspaper.
