Simple ways to save more on your household budget

• Save on food: Avoid “last-minute ingredient shopping” where you buy from convenience stores (prices are higher) and tend to pick up too many extras along the way. Instead, make a meal plan, buy only what you need, and avoid unnecessary convenience products (oh come on, you can slice your own carrots, can’t you?)
• Save on energy: Have appliances checked once a year, since broken TV’s, refrigerators or airconditioners can consume more energy. Also inspect windows and doors for holes where cold air or heat can escape.
• Save on water: Water your lawn or plants early in the morning (less heat = less evaporation = more efficient watering). Inspect pipes once a year for leaks.
