Opt for cash instead of cards.

to spend less money.

spending, which makes them less inclined to make impulse purchases.

When making large purchases, wait until the end of the month.

theirs as the end of the month approaches.
Purchasing at this time can result in some serious discounts from sales reps who just
need to make a sale.

If you’re a homeowner, paint your roof white.

can save money on an electrical bill.
Most roofs are dark, which naturally absorbs more heat, but a lighter colored roof will
have you using less air conditioning.
7.
Brew your own coffee.
Coffee shops are convenient, but most of the time, you’re spending a lot more than you
should be for something you could easily make at home.
Brewing your own coffee will cut your coffee costs to around 25 cents a cup, which is a
big dip from whatever you’re handing over to your hip barista.
6.
Stop buying brands.
Check the ingredients and you’ll notice that most big brand household products aren’t
anything special compared to the generic brands.
The big brands know how to make their product look superior, but you’ll end up saving
a lot by not spending the extra cash for fancy packaging.

When dining out, do it at culinary schools.
Everyone loves to go out for a meal every now and then, but there are ways to still
get great meals for half the price.
Many culinary schools offer delicious five-course meals for a drastically lower price than you’d
pay at a swanky restaurant.

If you spend a lot of money on snacking, try drinking more water.
Many people tend to overeat because they mistook their thirst for hunger.
There are a plethora of benefits to drinking lots of water daily.
One of them is keeping your stomach full so you don’t waste money on unnecessary snacks.
3.
Place a heavy object in your toilet water tank.
Chances are, your toilet is flushing a lot more water than necessary.
Place a water bottle filled with water or a brick in the tank to reduce the amount of
water reserved.
This will help you use less water every time you flush and help you save money.
2.
Take time to unplug things you aren’t using.
According to Energy Star, the average US household spends at least $100 each year to power the
devices that are turned off.
Appliances can still consume energy when they are off, which makes it important to unplug
them whenever possible to lower your energy usage.
1.
Have "spend free" days.
Set a day of the week or month to not spend any money.
This will get you into the habit of preparing to not spend money for a certain amount of
time, which can grow to become more and more common.
Take this challenge to see just how much you rely on spending each day.
Don’t waste money you worked hard to save at your job!
It’s simple - save easy money by not spending it.
And finally, here’s what grocery stores do to try to get you to spend more money!
When grocery shopping, look up.
There’s a reason the way the products are laid out the way they are.
Most of the time, the most expensive products that the store wants you to buy are at eye
level.
Escape this trap and start looking at products on the higher and lower shelves to see what
deals you’ve been missing.
