Live Self Sufficient

I am not going to tell you a world shaking idea, nor tell you something you most likely don’t already know but for some reason people just chose to ignore the obvious. Want to save ten dollars this week? Do any one of the following:

Brew your own coffee at home: I know, right? Real break though, earth shattering stuff, but it is true and most people are too lazy to do it. Don’t have time in the morning? Buy a coffee maker that has a timer. Making your coffee at home will save you more then ten dollars, even with the purchase of a new machine, so stop buying at the store. Brew at home.

Walk or ride a bike: While gas is slowly returning to normal prices, you still have to pay for it when you use it. If you live in a city, walk or ride a bike. We ALL can use the exercise. Limit your need to drive if you have to. Plan your trip so you can combine errands instead of driving each day in various directions burning gas that you could have saved.

Bring your lunch or breakfast: Stop eating out, go make some bread, go make some jam and peanut butter. Bring that instead. I know, it’s bland not as sexy as Burger King… but trust me, you will save money in the long run and be healthier for it. Same goes for breakfast. Bring snacks from home, get up twenty minutes earlier and have a bowl of cereal, stop buying food that you already have at home.

Here are just a few ways to save ten dollars any week. There are many more ways you can save. Know of some and want to share? Please do!
