Summer is in full swing and that gives us

tips you can adopt to stretch your family’s disposable income further without
sacrificing on entertainment value.
Best
Tips for Saving Money
- One of
the best ways to instantly save on family expenses is modifying what
you eat and where you eat it. Remember that home-cooked meals are
not only healthier for the entire family; they’re also a great way to
spend quality time with the kids. Eating out is fun, but it can become
costly – so do it sparingly. Sodas for example have no nutritional value –
save for their great taste. The best drink is sky-juice – aka filtered
water. Don’t spend your money on bottled water – simply get a water
purifier and enjoy it!
- TV is big
thing with family and rightly so. But there are ways to cut your cable TV
costs, video rentals and movie costs too. Services like HULU and Netflix
are great ways to get the most value out of a minimal non-contractual membership.
You don’t need to buy DVDs for the family – you can simply stream content
for an entire month for the same price as one MOD (Movie on Demand)
rental. And the kids will have a much greater selection – off the
internet!
- Memberships
and coupons are great ways to save money. If you’re shopping for the
family then coupon savings are ideal. That extra money you’ll be saving
every month is like manna from heaven. Use it towards a savings fund for
your kids, for a rainy day or for those special gifts.
- Gaming is
a big thing too. The costs of purchasing Nintendo Wii games, PS2 games and
the like can become prohibitive. Consider trying other fun-filled
alternatives like free bingo online. Bingo is all the rage and it is being played by increasing
numbers of players the world over. Massive cash prizes are waiting to be
won too; it’s certainly a great option!
There are many other useful tips you can
employ to get the most value for your time and money. Remember that money saved
is like money earned!
