How can I save more money?

Asked by: 11 views , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

I want to save more money and I want to know how. Where can I find grocery coupons easily?

What I have done so far to save money. The figures below are ANNUAL savings. (I added all these numbers up, so they are accurate)

,952.75 = Stopped smoking (3 months ago)
,236.00 = Reduced cell phone bill
2.00 = Reduced Work Supplies
,925. = Fast Food while at work
2.00 = Soda
,000 = Fine Dining instead of home cooked meals

,677.75 is my total savings per year! This number was much higher, but this is how much I will save!

WHAT ELSE AM I FORGETTING???
Starting making coffee at home. Bought large coffee containers and other supllies! Last year I spent ,472.20 on coffee!! (bank statements told on me. LOL)

I have reduced that to around 0 with at home brewing!! Add that to the ,677.75
I have a company vehicle (free gas) for me and my stay at home wife only uses /month on gas.

    try saving water and electricity
    If you water your lawn/landscaping, use drip irrigations on your plants instead of sprinklers.
    when watering your lawn, only water it for 4 minutes with 15 minute intervals for about 5 cycles (optimal to do it at night for no evaporative loss). this saves a ton of water and takes a lot off your bill. also things like low-flow toilets are a good money saver.

    many ways to save electricity: put your regularly used appliances on a power strip(s) and whenever you are not using them, unplug the power strip. Every appliance still draws electricity from the wall even when it is turned off (think of every "ready" light you’ve seen on things). the amount of energy saved adds up. also, if you have not installed CFL or LED lights, they are 70% (CFL) to 90% (LED) more efficient than incandescent bulbs and save you much more electricity in the long run.

    also, congratulations on quitting smoking!
    also, instead of having fast food for lunch, try making/bringing lunch from home? I understand if fast food is easier for you. Also, I am curious on how you saved money by eating out instead of cooking at home. i know it depends on what you prepare, but generally, for me, eating out is more expensive and we only do it once a week. Anyway, good luck with saving money!
    peace!

    Here is a good place for grocery coupons: http://www.unretailme.com/grocery-coupons/

    If you still want to try have a night out once in a while I would also suggest Groupon type deals, here is an aggregator: http://dailydeals.unretailme.com/

    kudos to you for saving big time money!! to add to the others’ savvy tips, cancel cable/satellite if you have them and opt for an antenna. if any neighbors of yours get the Sunday newspaper, ask them if they wouldn’t mind giving you their leftover coupons. some grocery markets also have coupons throughout their store. buy generic items instead of brand name. if you find groceries on sale, stock up. happy saving!!
