I want a new car so I am really trying to pinch my pennies to save toward maybe getting the car of my dreams soon as possible. Coming from a family of six I am always looking for ways to save a buck or two or three.
Here are just a few tips I thought I might put out there for you to save a little moola:
1. Clean and change your filters monthly. Dirty filters makes your air conditioner work harder increasing operating cost by 20%.
2. Set your thermostat at the highest comfortable setting. Then use ceiling or portable fan for your cooling sysyem you feel 3 to 4 degrees cooler and cost less.
3. Hang laundry out when can saves money two ways; lowers your cost of electricity, and reduces heat from the dryer inside your home.
4. Open the blinds and take advantage of summer sun to light your house from the sun’s rays instead of turning on lights and using electricity.
Well, until next time maybe these few tips will help out. Next time I will give you some money saving tips on saving on your water bill.

This blog asks a simple question: "What are you saving for?" Its goal is to help people set savings goals, develop a disciplined and/or systematic savings habit, and build a corresponding community of like-minded people as a support network. By laughing, crying, and discussing how we each approach this topic together, we should find it much easier to save together. So what are you saving for?
A few other suggestions are:
Is that Starbucks item really that important in the long run? Especially that frappacino that’s going to find it’s way to your hip. I calculated one day that the venti frap that I indulged in once a week added up to 215.00 a year. I could be saving that money and use it down the road on something more fulfilling.
I have also heard that a family of four could save on their water bill just by turning the water off while brushing their teeth.
When your not using your cell phone charger don’t leave it plugged in because
it still uses electricity even when not in use.
I hope that these suggestions are helpful to someone out there.
