Here are a few helpful ideas for saving money… 1. SAVE MONEY ON GROCERIES There are several actions you can do to keep from wasting money on groceries that will perish or that will sit on the shelves forever. For instance, never go grocery shopping when you are starved! Also, have a list so you don’t “impulse buy” yourself into insolvency. Other ideas are to have a budget and at least attempt to come close (it’s like the game “The Price Is Right” – if you go over you lose!), purchase store brands instead of brand name – it’s really the same toothpaste, choose to drink water and never from the tap, and, most important, leave the kidshome with your spouse when you go food shopping for gawd’s sake! 2. OPTIMIZE YOUR FUEL CONSUMPTION A. Here is one that will surprise you…Roll up windows on highway. While most people assume they're being economical by turning off the air-conditioner, it actually creates a strong drag if you are driving fast with the windows down, and is worse for your gasoline economy. So, City Driving=windows down and A/C off and Highway Driving=windows up and A/C on. B. Don’t buy hot gas and do park in the shade. Try to get gas when it is cool (morning or evening) so the fuel is thicker and won’t evaporate as quickly. And parking in the sun will cause gas to evaporate also. C. Try to avoid rush hour. Of course no one wants to go onto the 405 freeway and sit in a parking lot there. There is actually a reason why we refer to the driveway as the driveway and the parkway as the parkway!! But realize that as much as it is harmful to your internal thermostat it is also bad for your gas economy. D. Telecommute – It’s good for the economy, it’s good for traffic,it’s good for the family, it’s good in a lot of ways and many people are following this new trend. If you can work it out to land a job where you can work from home, do it! You will be happier, feel freer and more independent, and save money on gas (and also on food as you are more likely todine out, waste money and get fat if you are working in an office than if you work at home) E. Properly using water in your fuel system can save you up to 1/3 off fuel expenses for your auto by making the fuel you buy perform better. If you pay $40/week for gas you might just save $600 or more per year!
