5 Intelligent Ways To Save Money
- Shop the clearance rack for groceries. Most people do this for items other than food but you can save big by applying the same principle to your groceries. I have found Kroger to be the best for this approach in my area. My best deals have been on organic meat that is close to its expiration date. I take it home to freeze and have saved literally thousands of dollars over the years using this one tip.
- Unplug all your electrical outlets before you go to be at night. You can reduce your electric bill by 10 percent just by unplugging every night. Of course, don’t unplug your alarm clock or your refrigerator but anything that is not in use is fair game. Using an energy-efficient power strip makes this task easier.
- Check your receipt. My husband is amazing at checking receipts and finding mistakes. Also, make sure to check the bottom of the receipt for coupons and surveys that you can participate in. You may even win something. It only takes a few seconds to double-check your receipts.
- Shop CVS extra bucks program. CVS has an amazing coupon program and if you are a member of their extra bucks program you can save big. We save up all-out extra bucks coupons and use them for basically two items. Dye Free CVS brand Ibuprofen and Burts Bees Lip Balm. We fill all our prescriptions here so we are always earning extra bucks.
- Give up paper products. This will save you tons of money over time and will help the environment too. I use cloth napkins and cloth dish towels. The only paper product I purchase is toilet paper!
