Household tips to save money!

Get yourself a power strip for all your electronics.
These can be had for as little as $10 and they make a huge difference in your electricity use. Using power strips for your computer, television and other stuff you don’t need powered up when you are not using them can cut your electric bill by a substantial amount because these products normally draw “phantom power” even when they are off. No sense in doing that, right? We have them on our computers and our television/DVD player so that at night or when we go away we can just flip the switch and cut off the power completely. Without making a change to the electronics you use, you can cut your consumption by at least 50% and your bill as well.

Brew your own coffee.
Seriously, 3 bags of beans can get you through the month for a total of $20. Buying a cup every day would run about $4, times 20 work days = $80 minimum per month.

Coupons
Pretty self explanatory, but they can save you a lot.

Cut off the Cable!
Get rid of some cable tv services…if not all of it.
