From slowly paying off a mortgage, to paying for train travel or a car purchase, borrowing money for these types of items can be expensive. By cutting down on eating out or ordering in food and instead buy the ingredients to make the same meal, whilst it is more effort to cook, this will save you huge sums of money in the long run.

Hang clothes to dry. Instead, we have two large clothes drying racks in the basement. Creating clothing requires a lot of natural resources. Instead of having oodles of clothes, our family is minimizing our wardrobes. Don’t wash clothes until they’re truly dirty. We are a one car family.

In 2015 I’m challenging myself to rethink purchases by taking advantage of more cost effective solutions like borrowing, buying second hand, or just making do with what we already have. I need spring clothes and I always find the cutest name brand tops at BJ’s at decent low prices.

Wash clothes in cold water. Meat, veggies, clothes, ect. Buy second hand. If you''ve got the time and money: ~Buy a fuel efficient car. When replacing appliances, buy the most energy efficient. Take public transportation or car pool. Buy organic. Clothes can be organic too!

A lot of the things that you’ll be buying will only be in use for a matter of months so it makes little sense to buy everything brand new if you’re on a budget. Don’t look to buy used car seats though as you can’t be sure of their safety and whether they have previously been involved in an accident. Please share.
