Top 10 Frugal Living Ideas
Savvy Frugality has listed 10 great ways to be frugal in youreveryday life! Here's a sampling...
1. Stop eating at restaurants, even fast food places. These can
be a big drain on your pocketbook, especially if you eat out
several times a week. $100 can buy a lot more food at the
grocery store than it can at a restaurant.
2. No more Starbucks. Do you really need a $3.50 cup of
coffee? No, I didn't think so. I can make my own coffee drinks
at home, and I can get a whole can of coffee for what I would
pay for one drink at Starbucks.
3. Turn off the lights. If you leave a room, turn off the light.
It sounds stupid, but I'm constantly adjusting the thermostat,
turning off lights, unplugging unused appliances...anything
that wastes electricity. I also switched all of my light bulbs
to the compact fluorescents. I have seen my electricity bill
drop at least $20 per month by using these tactics.
