THE VERY BEST A to Z FINANCIAL ADVICE OF ALL TIME! -- REAL ESTATE
A
ANTENNA for the roof
will save you a lot versus Using satellite or cable. Buy
used media such as used books, movies, video games For Home Entertainment and
save A bundle ( Unless you are needing the Cable To get internet access in your
home ). Remember that most public libraries have free internet, and check out
books, movies, and
C.d.'s
there too!
ALWAYS select the longest time period for magazine subscriptions (usually 3
yrs.) instead of renewing every year, then you will be paying for the 3rd year
with Today's prices...this
really can save you a bunch of money if you have several subscriptions. Or you
might consider reading your magazines for free at your local library.
B
BEAUTY schools are cheaper for hair
styling. Or purchase hair
clippers/scissors and have it done at home for FREE. Consider coloring your own
hair and doing your own nails ( acrylic ) at home instead of professionally

C
CONSIDER working for the food industry where you could get your food for half
price or even possibly for Free (Depends on the company, of course).
CUT paper towels in half to make them last longer.
COUPONS and rebating are always an excellent idea.
D
DRY your clothes on the line instead of using a clothes dryer, it's FREE and
your clothes will last much longer too!
DRINK more water, and less soda and other processed drinks. Never buy expensive
bottled water because water is water ( Unless you know for sure that the area
you are in has unsafe drinking water ).
E
EGGS from your own chickens instead of buying from the grocery store. Also,
Natural honey from bees for cooking or eating by itself straight from the
honeycomb ( If Possible ). Unprocessed honey is Good for you and helps
allergies!
EMERGENCY or savings fund of any amount ( but 3-6 months salary is
recommended ) could really help you during a really rough time. The rule of
thumb is no matter how much you earn, to ALWAYS save a little bit.
F
FURNITURE does not need to be new to be considered good and high-quality! As a
matter of fact, new furniture is usually junk ( Mickey Mouse ) unless you pay an
arm and a leg. Instead, Look for quality used furniture at thrift stores, yard
sales, in the classified ads, and so on.
frugality
is A Proper way to be In Our World today.
G
GROW Your own vegetables, fruits, herbs,
and spices. Not even a need to can anything if you have a large enough freezer,
just freeze it all instead. Oh, in the Cold freezing winter, you could even put
a cooler outside to freeze food! Also, when you harvest your produce, make
low-cost casseroles and crock pot dishes in bulk and freeze them for future
meals.
Gasoline
is now at a record high so remember these important ways to save on fuel:
Remember that the air conditioning lowers the economy of your fuel by 10-20% (&
always park in the shade); Buy a fuel-efficient vehicle; Always make sure your
gas cap is on tight and snug because gas evaporates; Drive intelligently by
lightening up on the accelerator ( Drive slower )and stop making fast starts and
sudden stops ;
put car in neutral while going down steep
hills;
Buy gasoline with the lowest grade of
octane that is appropriate for your vehicle; Use the correct grade of motor oil
Carry only items you need in your vehicle because a weighed down car uses more
fuel; keep your engine well tuned; Keep the tires inflated properly; Replace
your air filter regularly; Always Combine trips into one trip to save on fuel,
especially if you live far from town.
H
HUNT or fish for your meat by hunting during hunting season ( will need a
hunting/fishing license and the appropriate hunting/fishing gear ). Local
discount grocery stores and farmer markets are much cheaper for food too. Buy
generic foods and always remember that fruits and vegetables that are in season
are cheaper. Learn to cook extra for dinner and have leftovers for Future
lunches and snacks. Bake your own baked goods like cakes, muffins, breads, and
cookies.
HELP others who are in need, you never know when you might need the favor
returned someday
I
IF you are a light cell phone user then you could save money by using a prepaid
cell phone instead of postpaid. Or For larger families, then use a family plan
with everybody using the same carrier and save on long distance, pool your
minutes, get free calls, etc. You might even consider no longer using a landline
phone and save even more Cash.
IF "Ifs" and "buts" were candy and nuts,
Wouldn't it be a Merry Christmas each
and every day? Remember this saying as much as possible when tempted to make
excuses not to get the most bang for your buck.
J
JOIN a memorial society & choose cremation ( If Possible ), this could save your
spouse and/or children a small fortune and the land of our earth is Not
increasing.. So, why not consider the natural ashes to ashes and dust to dust
method?

ehow.com or recipezaar.com,
and many others for the homemade recipes.

access in your home, or use the library internet, etc.), instead of buying
newspapers everyday from the stand or having a newspaper subscription. You could
even share with a friend or neighbor.
NEVER co-sign someone else's loan and put your good credit into their hands, no
matter what.
O
OWE money to several credit cards? Then pay of the cards you owe the least to
first. Never depend on credit cards for anything, but use them only to build
your credit, which is their purpose. Avoid high interest credit cards by all
means.
P
PURCHASE items at the dollar stores for low-cost cleaning supplies, gardening
supplies, etc.
Public Transit bus instead of driving an automobile. It will fool your
toilet floater in the tank by it thinking that there is more water that there
actually is and it will not fill up all the way, but the float will still rise.
Therefore, every time you flush, you will save on water.
PRE-PLAN weekly menus by writing lists and never buy anything on impulse unless
you find something exceptionally cheap.

QUIT running the water in the shower when you are not using it. Instead, just
run it to get wet. Turn off to wash your hair. Then turn the water back on to
rinse hair. Turn off again, and lather up your body with soap. Then turn back on

All Beverages cost A Lot more when you go out, Cheaper to buy it at the store
and bring home, just like Food ).

automobile ( when possible ). Group trips together with friends and coworkers to
work, school, and stores ( carpooling ) and save a lot of gasoline, time, and
money.
RECYCLE/REUSE!!! Recycle cans, metals, plastics, Clothing, and So On. When adult
socks cannot be repaired anymore, then use them as cleaning rags or wash cloths
( or any old t-shirts or what not). You can use Children's
socks for the kids to use as washcloths by putting the bar of soap into the
sock, so then they won't overuse the soap and it will hold the soap together
after it gets soft. Turn pants with a hole in the knee into shorts. Use rinse
water from the washer to water your garden or to clean the floors. Save old used
toothbrushes for cleaning things such as jewelry. The List goes on, Just be
creative!

SELL things that you do not need or use anymore.

instead of buying commercial
fertilizers.
STOCKPILE whenever possible and only stock up on things on sale and use those
coupons, especially the triple ones. Do Not forget to rotate your stockpile so

SAVE your leftover packets of condiments ( ketchup, Mustard, mayonnaise, BBQ,
etc.) and leftover napkins at restaurants to keep handy at home, in case you run
out.
T
TOOTHPASTE tubes may appear
empty when they are not. If you cut
the tube off about an inch from the top, you will find toothpaste left for
several more brushings. This also goes for anything in a Tube such as ointments,
lotions, rubs, etc.
U
USE re-usable containers ( butter dishes, juice bottles, etc. ) instead of
buying the new name-brand storage containers and make use of any plastic bags
from stores to wrap your foods, store things, etc.
USE a rain barrel to collect water to water your garden ( free water! ).
UNPLUG appliances that are not being used, and save on Your monthly electric
bills.
V
VARIOUS items can be bought used or 2nd hand, and be just as good as new! Always
consider Goodwill & Salvation Army Stores, local thrift shops, flea markets,
rummage sales, Craig's list,
classified ads, etc. before buying brand new. Everything you want or need can be
bought slightly used for a fraction of the cost!
W
WORKOUT at home instead of paying for a gym or health club membership...or go
jogging, cycling, walking, etc. for exercise when the weather permits.

clean if you used hot water, and clothing will last longer and look newer too!
X
EXPECT
to find designer jeans and shoes for much cheaper at used 2nd hand clothing
stores, local thrift stores, etc.. Sometimes they even still have the original
price tags still on them! Also, shop For off-season clothing and other items
that have huge markups (Such As clearance items).

YOU can buy energy efficient, low watt light bulbs and save on electricity. They
might cost more at first, but you will save in the long run because they last
about 5 years instead of 6 months, and use Much less power.
