How to Save Money Without Sacrifice
January 16, 2008 by
Easy ways to build up your savings without sacrifice.
I am a professional freelancer for art, writing and music so every penny counts. No matter your situation having back-up money is a necessity. Over the last year I have discovered some fantastic ways to
save money without sacrificing and of my luxuries.
Cancel your movie club membership and head to the library. Yes, the library. You may wait an extra week but the library has all the latest blockbusters and they are yours free for approximately 72 hours.
Same goes for those book club memberships. The library has every book you could ever think of. You get them for about three weeks for free and if you need more time you can renew them for free.
Frozen veggies are in. Frozen veggies carry basically the same nutrients of fresh veggies at a fraction of the price and they last longer.
Credit Cards. Do you really need a credit card for every store. No, you don't. Keep one from each company with a maximum of four cards. One Visa, One MasterCard, One Discover and One American Express. If you only have one major credit card that's great you'll save more and have less worry about interest fees.
Tap water purification. Get a tap water purifier. Bottled water is expensive. You will save time and the environment with a purifier system.
If you have a family buy in bulk. Sign up with a wholesale club. The membership fees will pay for themselves on the first visit.
Coupons are your friends. Coupons can save you hundreds of dollars per year. Just get that Sunday paper and clip away to financial freedom.
Cancel that gym membership. For the cost of one years membership fees you can get yourself a small home gym. Plus you will save gas money because you won't have to drive to the gym everyday.
Recycle Aluminum. Your local scrapyard will pay you for it. Just bag em up and bring em in.
Grow your own herbs. You can buy kits pretty cheap and grow them in your kitchen. fresh herbs are expensive this way you save a ton of cash.
If you live close to work walk it. You will receive health benefits as well as save a ton of cash on gas.
Check local listings for estate sales and house auctions in your area. You can find amazing deals.
