Save Money Around the House
Including tips by Marci, Joanna, Jisun Moir, Debt Reduction Formula, and several more.
- Use only half of a dishwasher tablet at a time.
- Use rechargeable batteries for electronics and toys.
- Store batteries in the refrigerator. They last longer.
- Do repairs (paint touch ups, sewing, etc) one day a week. If you keep things in good working order, they last longer.
- Accept hand-me-downs. You can donate them if you can’t use them.
- Do home repairs yourself.
- Reuse things. An example: Plastic grocery bags can be reused as lunch bags, shoe bags, or laundry bags on vacation.
- Email for free samples. You can get some good stuff!
- Wash and re-use Ziplock bags.
- Make your own Christmas cards by making a collage from the fronts of Christmas cards you received the previous year.
- See if your local dump or transfer station offers free firewood or garden mulch. Take advantage of it.
There’s a whole lot of really good stuff over there- check it out!
