Review what you spend and look at ways you can save money.Consider making telephone calls for instance only at off-peak times.Do you really need to have newspapers and magazines delivered?Can you do without those coffees you buy at break time everyday-would a flask of coffee taken to work save you money?What about using the public lending library instead of buying books or music CDs?
77.E
This is essential for families and individuals and can be the fastest way to save money.You will instantly see your incomings and outgoings once you figure out the amount of money available to spend.You will not be able to save money unless you know how much money you have coming in,and how much money you have going out.
78.A
Do your price research before you make an expensive purchase in a retailers promotion.You have to be sure the promotion really is not a creative marketing strategy of the store to encourage you to spend your money without thinking.Once you have researched the true price of a product (any product) you are in a good position to take advantage of a promotion,special offer or discount and really save money.
79.C
Consider markets,superstores,farmer's markets,local shops and stores.Anywhere is worth checking out to see if you can save money.Farmer's Markets can be particularly good places to save money.Typically you are buying direct from the producer of the product so the savings are passed on to you.Use your bulk buying strategy here-farmer's markets often offer opportunities to save money by buying larger quantities of staples,for instance potatoes,rice or corn.
80.B
We live in a consumer society where waste is a huge problem.If we could all use and consume less,there would be less waste and power consumption.Consider using less shampoo when you wash your hair,this may not mean washing your hair less effectively but it means not flushing the excess shampoo and your money down the drain.Turn off lights,the TV and the computer when they are not in use.Each little saving you make will build up and enable you to save money.
