7 More Ways to Reduce Your Expenses

Reduce expenses
Reducing expenses is an on-going battle to effectively maximize the use of every dollar in your possession. Here are 7 more ways to trim your expenditure in more creative ways:


1. Walk more: Walk if you can instead of driving your car. Walking is the best form of exercise and at the same time, you cut down on petrol usage and reduce the wear and tear of your vehicle.

2. Plan your trip: Arrange your trip so that you do your errands in one go. Take it as a joy ride at the same time and enjoy the trip to town.

3. Proper storage at home: Proper storage of the things at home is essential to cut down expenses. It is to avoid buying items that are still available at home. If an item is not stored orderly, when you have found it, most probably it is way beyond the expiry date. You will also attract the flow of positive energy when you keep your house tidy and clean

4. Tweet instead of using your phone: It is a wonderful way to reduce phone charges. Tweeting on Twitter or write on the wall on Facebook is just as effective as talking over the phone to get messages across. The big difference is that it is free to tweet or write on the wall.

5. Go shopping with a shopping list and follow the list: A shopping list is important that you don’t overlook an item and waste valuable time to go back and get it again. Furthermore, you avoid impulsive spending by sticking to the list and buy nothing more.

6. Take advantage of your credit cards to save: Get a credit card that is free for life and also offer you a discount on grocery and petrol charges. So instead of paying in cash charge them to your card and save.

7. Prepare your own favorite food: Home cooking is not only cost-effective but it is good for your health. You can go one step further by making your own desserts and pastry items such as cakes and muffin and serve as a snack during tea time. You use less sugar. It is more nutritious and a delight for the whole family.
