Save -Plug leaks in your kitty...Your ideas please!!!

If you have to save money-being thrifty alone does not matter...

You have to prudently identify areas where big time financial drains happen in your house /organisation...

If it is upper middle income household, do look around for invisible leaks which really keeps your savings low...


#Run an energy audit-replace electric equipments that are power guzzlers.
Switch over to energy savers that are rated by BEE.
Replace ordinary bulbs with CFL lamps or better still,LED lights for dim lit areas.

#Organise a transport pool to cut your travel bills.

#Use a cycle for quick errands -good for your health ,environment as well as your kitty.

#Take a jog,walk or a brisk outdoor sport-It keeps you fit and healthy and also saves on your Gym subscription!
(and your medical bills too!)

#Ask your Doctor to prescribe generic drugs instead of fancier brands.They work the same way yet are many times cheaper!

Amunique...
Walking keeps you healthy -so smaller medical bills +lesser lesser fuel bills...

 

# Grow your own veggies( atleast a little of them)
They help in saving atleast 25% of your weekly vegetable bill.
You can have your own little kitchen garden in your backyard...terrace or even your balcony...
What more-your kitchen garden can give you a steady supply of easy to grow everyday supply of curry leaves,mint,coriander,ginger,tomatoes,avarakai,pumpkins with very minimal efort.


And a kitchen garden is relaxing too!

 

# If you have an extra room in your house-try to earn a neat sum every month by accomodating a paying guest .
Many young girls would love to stay as a PG with a family than staying in a working woman's hostel and are happy grab such an oppurtunity.

This is an easy moneymaking idea which effortlessly ups your savings!

 

# Put a rein on impulsive swiping of the credit card.

When you stick on to CASH SPENDINGS ONLY -you instinctively curb impulsive purchases of things which you may not really put to good use.

 

Thank you Sudha...You are right.

 

#Mind your Fridge and kitchen cabinets!:spin

Scour the shelves for surplus stocks and about to perish condiments-use them up before ordering for more...:rant

after all foodstuff cost a bomb nowadays.

Do not cook extra large meals.
They finally end up unconsumed in your fridge...(VIZ. More money and eatables and your efforts bonk) down the drain.

Buy seasonal fruits and vegetables.
They are cheaper and fresh too!
