Three Money Saving Tips

1. Combine your services and save some money. For about $100 a month, you can get cable or satellite TV, local and long-distance telephone service, plus high-speed Internet service. This is more often than not cheaper than it would cost for each service separately. The best money saving tips will give you more for less. Of course you will need to call your local phone provider or cable company to see the deals that are offered because every area is a bit different.

An added benefit to bundling your services is you will only need to pay just one bill, and you will have just one company to call if you have any issues.


2. If you have a good cell phone plan and you tend to use your cell phone the majority of the time, get rid of your land line. Depending on how much your land line bill is a month you could be saving about $50 a month. I recently did this. I was rarely using my home home and paying close to $50 a month for it. By getting rid of my land line I am saving myself $600 a year.

3. If you don't already have one get a library card. Rather than buying books or DVDs you will only look at once borrow them for free. Libraries also have magazines and newspapers, so you can save money on subscriptions as well. Libraries are also great sources of free entertainment. Check with your own local library but most offer book clubs and children programs that you can join for free.

Save Money and Energy

Batteries
After you take a dying battery out of a digital camera, try to use it in a low-energy appliance, such as an alarm clock, or remote control.

If you have kids with lots of electronics consider investing in rechargeable batteries. It’s not uncommon for a good brand of rechargeable batteries to last for 5years. Imagine how much you’d be saving over time.

Electricity
Think about getting a power strip for all of your electronics that are in your living room, and then turn it off when you go to bed.

When you’re not in a room turn the lights off.

When the weather is nice hang your clothes out on a line to dry.

Replace your incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs. CFL’s use a lot less energy than the traditional incandescent bulbs and they also last longer.

Deal me in

Sometimes saving money is as simple as finding a good deal. I recently stumbled upon a pretty cool site DODTracker.com. DODTracker tracks numerous "deal of the day" websites in real time as well as regular retailers who have special daily deals. What I really like about DODTracker is you can customize your experiance by sorting through, retailers, discount offered,how much time is left, or age.

Another one of the sites I will browse when looking for a good deal is Dealio.com. You can search for the deals they have listed directly on their site or use some of their FREE deal hunting tools. You're also able to compare prices and find online store coupons and view some of the best daily online deals.

If you want to keep it simple you can also check out Woot. Woot is a pretty simple concept. They offer one deal a day until it's sold out or the day has ended. Each new product is posted at 12am central standard time, 7 days a week.
