5 simple ways to save money

Author: Nadia Ahmed Uqaili

Save electricity

We have all been told, in some point of our lives, that in order to save electricity, the environment and money, we should make a habit of turning off the lights when we leave a room.

But for some reason, many people find it difficult to own this habit. So here’s an idea. Why not install lesser light bulbs in the house to begin with? This way there won’t be as much lights to turn on, which will lessen the electricity bill and hence, there won’t be a need to excessively turn the lights off all the time.

Extra room in the storeroom

Get rid of anything that you seem to be storing for too long. Anything that has been placed in the storeroom for more than a maximum of 6 months should be either put to use immediately or sold.

If you keep a close eye on each item you own, this way, you most likely won’t need to buy many things you otherwise would have, unknowingly of the fact that it is already present at home. Hence, you’ll save money.

Don’t leave the house aimlessly

Every time you leave the house, make sure you have a plan and the willpower to stick to it.

Whether you’re going grocery shopping or to buy huge electronic devices, plan ahead regarding what exactly you need and buy only just that.

Learn to cook cuisine foods

If you learn to prepare all the simple yet tasty food items found at restaurants that you find yourself craving and spending on regularly, the need to go out to eat will reduce increasingly.

Of course the ingredients to cook said food will cost you but in the long run it will always cost less than going out to eat habitually.

Buy in bulk

Things bought in bulk always seem to cost less than when you buy them one at a time. So why not avail this opportunity to save money?

No need to buy perishable foods and items that have early expiry dates in bulk but all other items with which you do not face such problems can easily be bought in bulk.
