Have a
“freezer week,” where you go through foods you already have at
home.
Try to
have a “no-spend-day” every week.
Take
full advantage of supermarkets and visit about an hour before
closing to get nearly-expired foods.
Cook
your meals in large batches to reduce waste and cut cost on
cooking. Just don’t post meal prep photos on Instagram.
Leave
a little earlier than normal and drive at 55MPH for optimum fuel
efficiency.
Eat
before you go food shopping. It’s common sense but people still go
to the store hungry.
For a
low-cost (and environmentally friendly) cleaning product, mix water
with white distilled vinegar or baking soda.
No
need to spend money on costly condiments. Most fast-food
restaurants provide free sauces. This one might take you back to
your college days.
Have a
good relationship with your neighbor? Ask about splitting the cost
of an internet connection.
Turn
your electric oven off five minutes early for a perfectly cooked
meal due to long cooling times.
Don’t
throw away fruit that has passed. Use it for smoothies or to bake
with.
Take
full advantage of free food samples at establishments like
Costco.
Have
an unused or extra bedroom? Rent it out on websites like
Airbnb.
Refill
a water jug that you keep in the fridge instead of running the tap
till the water is cold.
