More Ways to Save Cash On Gas And Other Items

I have been doing a little bit of digging on the numerous tactics to save money and have located numerous good ideas amongst the ones that are not so valuable.
Ones that are not so good are those that are unrealistic (“pay off your credit cards now and save interest” which you would have done if you could), lame (coupons and rebates and corny garbage such as that) and too much of a sacrifice (use public transportation, etc)

So, here are a few valid ones…

1. AVOID BRAND NAMES – Do you really need Betty Crocker cooking oil when you can get the exact same product less expensively made by Albertson’s? Multiply that across peanut butter, toilet paper (Target has the best!), other paper products like plates, breakfast cereal and you are looking at significant savings with no sacrifice!
2. LEAVE THE CREDIT CARDS HOME WHEN YOU GO TO THE BAR! – Drink less, be less of “Mr Big Spender”, less hangover in the morning!
3. USE VOIP – What’s VOIP? Voice Over Internet Protocol. If you use SKYPE for example, it costs really zero and you can save the expense of a traditional phone line. If you connect to the internet using Cable TV then you don’t require a phone line at all.
4. GET PAID BY DIRECT DEPOSIT/ACH – Why does this save cash? Have you ever deposited a check and not taken a bit of money out? If you get paid by ACH then you won’t have that temptation!
5. PAY YOURSELF FIRST – This is more a savings plan then a way to save on stuff you are buying but it is all about more cash for you, right? Take 10% of each paycheck off the top and plunk it into another account that you don’t touch. And FORGET it is there. You will discover that you get by fine without it and actually accumulate some savings. Some ways to do this… if you got a raise put that surplus money in that account. If you paid off a debt continue to pay it but to yourself. Think of some ideas of your own.
6. SAVE ON AIR CONDITIONING/HEATING – Run the thermostat at minimum energy level (like at 50 degrees in the Winter) during the night and have a room heater. I have a tiny room heater that I purchased at the the supermarket for $24. That thing cranks. I keep it at the lowest level and it is sufficient to heat the room.
7. OPTIMIZE YOUR GASOLINE CONSUMPTION – Properly using water in your gasoline system can save you up to 1/3 off gasoline costs for your car by making the gasoline you buy perform better. If you pay $40/week for gas you might just save $600 or more per year!
