Frugal Tips for the House Made Simple
Anywhere we can be frugal is great in this economy. There are so many ways to save around the house and most of these are so easy to do. Follow these frugal tips and keep money in your pocket!
The hot water heater is probably too hot. Change it to 110 to 120 degrees and you will still be fine.
Make sure you have a full load of laundries before you use the washer. That way, you are using the least amount of energy per cloth!
If you put towels under your doors, it won't let the heat escape through to the outside. This simple trick saved me so much money in the winter.
Same as laundry, so save a full load before you use the dish washer. Actually, just hand wash everything. It's much cheaper!
That grass doesn't need to be cut every week. Cut it every 2 weeks instead and you will save half your maintenance cost.
Wireless minutes are usually wasted. It doesn't' matter if you have rollover if you never use those minutes right? Call your cell phone provider and get a cheaper plan.
Do not over water your plants and grass. Whenever you see streaks of water, it means that you are over watering and wasting it. Control it.
If there are rooms that you don't go to often, seal off the vents to the room so heat and air conditioning isn't wasted.
Ventilating fans are great in the summer but make sure they are turning the right way so it doesn't take heat out of the house in the winter.
When it's day time, open the blinds so heat can warm the room. Most of the time you probably don't need so much air conditioning anyway.
