Here are a few good ones for saving money… 1. SAVE MONEY ON GROCERIES There are many actions you can do to keep from overspending on groceries that will go bad or that will sit on the shelves forever. For starters, never go grocery shopping when you are starved! Also, have a list so you don’t “impulse buy” yourself into bankruptcy. Other suggestions are to have a budget and at least try to come close (it’s like the game show “The Price Is Right” – if you go over you lose!), opt for generic brands instead of brand name – it’s really the same stuff, decide to drink water and never from the tap, and, most important, leave the childrenhome with your spouse when you go grocery shopping for gawd’s sake! 2. OPTIMIZE YOUR GAS CONSUMPTION A. Here is one that will surprise you…Roll up windows on highway. While ”everybody” think they're saving money by turning off the air-conditioner, it actually creates a considerable 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 gas is thicker and won’t evaporate as easily. 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 they refer to the driveway as the driveway and the parkway as the parkway!! But understand that as much as it is harmful to your internal thermostat it is also bad for your gas economy. D. Work at home – 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 arrange to get a job where you can work from home, do it! You will be happier, feel freer and more independent, and save cash on gas (and also on food as you are more likely toeat in restaurants, waste money and get fat if you are working in an office than if you work at home) E. Properly using water in your gas/gasoline system can save you up to 30% off gas costs for your auto by making the gas you buy perform better. If you pay $40/week for gas you might just save $600 or more per year!
