To continue on with my last post from Sunday, here are some of the rest of the great practical suggestions from the query I posted on my personal Facebook account asking for budget and saving tips.
5) Tomas linked me to a fantastic website called Budget Bytes, which contains a lot of very delicious and very cheap recipes for those of you trying to save money on meals.
6) Yana echoed AJ's suggestion - urging us to run to work when we can and shop at second hand/thrift stores. She also added that we should do a type of self-consolidation by transferring high interest credit card ballances to lower interest lines of credit.
7) Matthew gave a great tip for saving on electricity. He shared his own personal method of plugging all of his electronics in a room into one single surge protector/power bar. At night, or whenever he leaves the room, he unplugs the bar. On average the TVs and other electronic devices in your home increase your power bill about 10% just by being plugged in over night. That is quite a few pennies!
Again, thank you to all of my friends who contributed.
