Somehow frugality has always been linked with giving up pleasures of life. According to me it is a very wrong notion. You could enjoy all the small and big pleasures of life while still saving money.
Here is a list of things you could do to reduce your spending:
Sell the Items you don’t Use Anymore:
Find out the items that you have not been using for a long time and sell them. It might be your old books, CDs or even a home appliance. Sell them, create some more space at your home and enjoy the free space and money that comes out of selling.
Save on Energy:
Replace light bulbls by CFLs and LEDs .
Unplug aplliances when they are not working.
Switch off lights and fans when you leave the room.
Seal the air leaks in your home.
Do a regular maintenance check on all appliances.
Save on Cell Phone:
Unless you have a valid reason to use cell phone heavily, replace your plan to pay as you go. Try using Skype whenever possible and reduce the frequency of
using your cell phone.
Buy the Regular Stuff in Bulk:
Be it oil, soaps or even your body spray, if you are something regularly, buy it in bulk for it comes cheap.
Make use of a Library:
The next time you want to watch a movies or read a book, think of signing up for a library membership.
