Even though you may not have solid plans as of yet, start knowing what things cost and keep track of prices. Once you know how much you might be spending, you can start saving for the expenditure. What kind of special activities do you enjoy during summer?
- 13. Make A Few Sacrifices Not going out with friends to movies or clubs as much as you want to Avoiding buying new clothing or shoes even if there are great sales to take advantage of Delaying the purchase of electronic products until the Fall months Making your own lunch or eating at home instead of at a restaurant with friends
- 14. Cook out. Using the stove or baking in the oven creates a lot of excess heat in your house and uses much electricity. Consider taking time to light up the barbecue grill outside so that you can keep your house cooler. Dry laundry outside. If you have the ability to hang up laundry outside, let the sun and warm summer breeze do the drying for you. Even if you cant hang up clothes outside, try partially drying your clothes and letting the air dry the rest. Garden up. As summer begins , it is a perfect time to be on the lookout for plant sales. Growing up your own vegetables and fruits is not only healthier for the body, but it also save you money.
- 15. Enjoy the great outdoors. Try camping instead of booking a resort. It can cost a fraction of the cost of a traditional vacation and it will be an unique experience you will remember. Check National Park Services and look for a safe campsite near you. Ditch Your Car. With rising gas prices and nice weather, how much money could you save if you walk, bike or carpool to work? This may take some adjustment and planning ahead to change habits but you will save money and get in a good work out. Nothing like doing groceries by bike!
