10 ways to save money

In these economically challenging times, we look to find ways to save money wherever we can. Here are some ideas to reduce your spending and pocket the difference:

  1. Stop eating out so much – the average American spends nearly $3000 eating out each year.
  2. End your cable service – today, much of what is on television can be found online, free to stream (often on the websites of the major networks). Regardless, can’t you find better ways to spend your time besides being stuck to the television?
  3. Use your local library – beyond the obvious savings of book purchases, most public libraries offer numerous family-friendly activities (most are free and offer an educational component).
  4. Energy audit – find out if your energy providers offer a free energy audit to offer ideas on how to reduce your bill and become more environmentally conscientious.
  5. Lower your property taxes – contact your County Government and request a re-assessment of your property to determine if you are paying above and beyond your fair share.
  6. Get rid of your landline – consider ditching the home phone and flying solo with your mobile service. If you desire an additional number, look into google phone service, which offers a free number that can be forwarded to any line you have (and it has many additional perks like voicemail and recording capabilities).
  7. Stop impulse buying – most people make purchases on a whim, only to regret the decision. Try setting a number (like$50) and agree to think for 24 hours before spending that much on one single item.
  8. Payoff debt – Many Americans have numerous credit cards and other loans which cause thousands of dollars in interest to be thrown out the door. Attacking a few of your smaller balanced debts quickly can save the average person hundreds, or more, each year.
  9. Make supermarket lists – determine what you want or need from the supermarket before going there, which will help you from making hasty decisions induced by clever marketing ploys.
  10. Shop around your auto and home insurance – check out competitive rates and see if you can reduce your annual premium. Customers of Weathervane Insurance Solutions have been saving an average of nearly $500/year.
