Look for Going Generic to Save More Money
One of the simple ways to keep more money in your pocket is to run through your list of expenses and think of alternatives. If you get creative, you will find that not many things are really irreplaceable.
Many people pay for gym memberships but are they really necessary? Some dumb bells, a morning jog is really all we need most of the time right? This way, you aren't paying for zilch and you will still be fit.
Are you at home watching TV all day? Those cable subscriptions are really expensive but most people can just use a service like Netflix or even Redbox. You will end up saving more money and watching more programs that you actually enjoy.
Do you still have your land line? Could you just use your cell phone to communicate? Unless you have heavy fax usage, you probably can get by using those wireless devices.
Restaurants usually give you so much sauce that you can just add more meat to the dish and have it still taste the same. This works especially well for Chinese food, so even if you don't know how to cook, you can eat at home for less now.
Chances are good that you are overpaying for your cell phone plans. For almost all of us, going with a prepaid plan will almost certainly save us money. It sounds crazy, I know, but it really works if you do the numbers.
Many people redeem points for merchandise but redeeming for cash or travel certificates are usually the best deal. Think about all the options that they give you and run the numbers!
If you like magazines, it's probably easier if you just bite the bullet and pay for a year's worth. This one is a little backwards but when it cost $5 at the stand and $10 for a year's worth, getting the year is probably worth the cost assuming you actually like the content.
Most of the stuff that you own is probably better rented. Not only is the upfront cost lower, you probably realize that you don't need the product a few weeks after you take it home anyway. If it's rented, you can easily return it without paying full price.
Generic brands are often skipped because they are deemed to have lower quality. Chances are, it's not true at all. Sometimes, the generic brands are exactly the same, and other times, it's even better than the name brands. The only difference? Marketing. - 23221
