Saving Everyday
OCTOBER 3, 2023
Gas, food, coffee, accommodations, entertainment, and parking add up quickly, not to mention unforeseen expenses like things you may have forgotten from home. If you’re open to flying or driving, compare the cost of flights to the estimated cost of gas. Gas stations and airports are money traps! Bring your own snacks.

Avoid wasting energy, water, gas, food and the like. For example, if your individual activities require illumination or light, you can stay together in one room and turn-off the lights in other parts of the house. Limit eating out and the activities that are outside your budget such as expensive movies and far away vacations.

Hey, you might end up enjoying these other more productive activities so much that you find the desire to cancel your TV service. Instead of using your car and spending money on gas, why not invest in a good bicycle or walking shoes. Instead of eating out, why not experiment with some recipes at home. Cook at home.
