Keeping the Castle - Housekeeping & Homemaking Tips

How to Save At Least $3000 Annually

by Maricar on February 24th, 2006

When trying to live frugally (/wisely), it’s usually the little things that count. Add up the dimes, they’ll equal dollars, which add up to hundreds, even thousands, of dollars.

Here are just some money-saving tips quantified to reflect annual savings:

*Pack your own lunch - $1400

*Avoid vending machines - $100

*Turn down thermostat 10% - $150

*Bring your own coffee - $360

*Use credit cards that give back money - $60

*Take advantage of medical flexible savings accounts - $200

*Clip coupons - $520

And if you buy an inexpensive used car instead of a new one, you save $4800.

Incidentally, coupon-clipping is not just for the cash-strapped. The wealthy do it too. According to About.com’s Donna L. Montaldo:

In a survey commissioned by Visa, of around 800 consumers who annually earn at least $125,000 in household income a year, 72 percent of them clip coupons compared to the national average of 65 percent.
