1.) Do garage sales. It not only frees you of unused stuff that clutters the house and eats up space; the sales can help augment your cash-on-hand.
2.) Bake your own bread or cook your own meal instead of buying or dining in restaurants.
3.) Conserve water. Instead of using the shower, fill up a large basin and use a small pail to scoop water to bathe yourself with.
4.) Watch out for sales and discounts at malls or department stores.
5.) Better yet, buy from the public market where the prices of basic commodities are cheaper and flea market sales abound.
6.) Try switching to powdered milk for cooking and baking, particularly in brownies, mashed potatoes, puddings, etc. The taste and nutritional value are still the same, yet it’s more economical.
7.) Use cloth napkins instead of expensive tissues and napkins. Cloth napkin is earth friendly and frugal because you can wash and use them again.
8.) Instead of going on a vacation somewhere faraway, you can spend a weekend at home. Prepare and enjoy a sumptuous homemade meal with your family like as if you are on a special outing.
9.) If you do want to go out-of-town/country, consider a destination that is in its off-season; prices will be much lower on those locales.
10.) And lastly, you can save more if you stay in college dormitories during summer trips instead of hotels or lodging houses.
