The expenses of a modern day family are diverse and at many times endless. I speak from experience when I say that it can be challenging to keep track sometimes. Consider a birthday party that requires extra groceries or the maintenance of your car. These are extra expenses that come next to the regular set of expenses you have every month. One of the biggest challenges here is to figure out how to spend less money and save on bills. Below I am going to give you a few hints on how I try to save money on my bills.
Groceries
In a previous post I already wrote about household items belonging to the never ending list of expenditures. Groceries are a big part of that list. An easy way to save money on groceries is by scanning and searching for sale deals and discount coupons. It is definitely worth it to go through the newspaper inserts you receive in your mailbox every week.
Energy
It is really easy to save on your energy bill. With just a few adjustments you can save considerable amounts of money. One is to unplug all of your rarely used electrical devices. A lot of them stay plugged into the electrical system when they are not in use. These devices use small amounts of energy that altogether add up to a big amount of wasted energy. So, time to unplug.
Phone bills
In a household of four people, there also are four phones and four phone bills. To make sure those bills don’t end up unnecessarily high, the use of a prepaid card comes in very handy. With a prepaid card you charge your phone with a credit amount of your choice and when it’s spent, it’s spent. No extra or unexpected charges. www.recharge.com offers the possibility to easily recharge your phone in the blink of an eye. I used the website to recharge my phone and it only took a few steps!
