What are some ways to save money around the house?

I am trying to save as much money as I can. What are some things I can do to save a little money?


I already know to unplug stuff when not in use. Keep heat down to like 68. Save all the change in a piggy bank.. What are some other ideas?|||Here's some of the things we're doing to keep costs down:





-wait to buy groceries on sale, then stock up, also my grocery store has a 10% off day once a month so I plan my shopping for then


-take shorter showers, it cuts down on hot water bills


-buy non-name brand products, they usually have the same ingredients and do the same thing at a lower cost


-look at your entertainment spending, theres usually something you can cut out (like $5 coffees) or something you can cut down on (going to the bar with friends)





Make sure to track your spending for a month and see where your extra money is going. We did this and found out we were spending an extra $200 on eating out!!! once we stopped that, it was easier to save.|||buy what ever you really need in bulk like toliet paper paper towels don't buy things you want just what you need
