(London.CityRegions.com, June 28, 2013 ) England, UK -- Free Samples UK recently released a infograph on the top ten strategies to being frugal. According the the infograph, being frugal is an art, by being both economically and ecologically conscious and responsible in regards to the carbon footprint humans create when using products.
The most important factor in being frugal is reducing the amount of waste you use. You can do this by waiting an extra day to buy bread by using the end slices. Many people skip over these because they are mostly crust, but they are also healthier because the crust is where most of the nutrients are in the bread. Turn electronics and other appliances off when not being used to save electricity. And, as always, you can recycle plastic, paper and certain types of metal like the aluminum made from soda cans.
Being frugal also means curbing costly habits. While stopping for coffee may not seem so costly one day, but stopping for coffee every day can add up in time, money and waste. Rather than picking up prepared food or having delivery, create a wholesome, homemade meal. It will be much healthier on your body and your wallet. If you are single or don’t have kids yet, living in a studio apartment will be sufficient until you save up to buy a house instead of wasting money on an apartment in a gated community with features you might not use.
Payday loans are financial death traps and should be avoided at all costs. While it may seem like a good plan to get $100 in cash quickly, interest loans will cost you more money in the long run. Also, when signing up for “free” services or products with a credit card, check to make sure you won’t be charged later for them.
Efficiency requires habit forming, but rinsing dishes and washing them as you use them helps to save water and the amount of dirty dishes piling up in your sink. You will be able to use the dishwasher on a lighter setting. Keeping your tires inflated properly also helps give your car the maximum fuel efficiency.
Social norms and expectations can be costly. Don’t worry about if something is in style; if it keeps your warm, wear it. And just because everyone else goes out, it doesn’t mean you should. Having date nights is fine every once in awhile, but save the money you don’t spend going out every weekend and watch the savings pile up.
Instead of using a credit card to pay for something in a moment of instant gratification, save your money to buy something. This will save you the interest you would have paid on a credit card. Knowing about economical factors that could have an impact on your money is very important. Pay off credit card charges before new interest and hidden fees change, and try to pay more on your mortgage than you owe each month to pay off your loan faster.
Bartering used to be the way the world worked, at least before money in the form of gold and silver came along. Not many people know that bartering still exists. A few ways it can be done is to trade used things for vegetables in your garden, or trade a painting job for something you need for your house. It may seem like everyone wants money these days, but it doesn’t hurt to ask for a trade instead. The worst that can happen is that the other person will say no.
Last, but not least, always take advantage of freebies. There are tons of options for great opportunities to earn free money, products and services.
