How To Save Money On Your Monthly Bills

September 9, 2021 by Ashley T

Saving money on your monthly outgoings is possible with the right organization. From avoiding massive money drains at home to curb bad spending habits, it can be pretty straightforward and easy to save money each month. Use this guide to assess your current spending habits and save money on your monthly bills.

Avoid leasing a car

Although you might think that leasing a car is the best way to have a car, it can dramatically increase your monthly outgoings. You will likely need to put down a deposit to lease a car, which is a huge bill in itself. Then, the monthly lease payments (along with maintenance and fuel) can soon make your monthly bills too expensive. 

Instead, use your money wisely and purchase a used car. Not only will you save money, but you can pay it off in one go and avoid spending money on a monthly car lease bill. You can find used cars for sale online to suit your needs and budget. 

Plan your weekly meals

When you go to the grocery store, it can feel fun to fill up your basket with exciting food. However, how often do you actually consume everything that you buy? A lot of waste occurs when you get too happy when shopping for food. 

If you head to the store with a list and meals in mind, you can restrict how much you spend. You will avoid wasting food and ensure to only spend what you need to.

To maximize your savings, you should plan meals that use similar ingredients. That way, you can buy more of one food and not buy multiple vegetables, oil, rice, meats, and fish. 

Make your home more energy-efficient

Monthly energy bills can make your bills overly expensive if your home isn’t energy efficient. The more energy-efficient your home is, the lower your bills will be. 

Here are some tips to make your home more energy-efficient:

  • Wash your clothes in cold water: when you can (when clothes are not too dirty or smelly) you should wash your clothes in cold water. This will save money on your energy bills and you will still end up with clean clothes. 
  • LED bulbs: switching your lightbulbs to LEDs that are energy-saving will ensure that your lights do not use up excessive energy. 
  • Air seal your windows: if there is air escaping through your windows, then you will be losing the heat that you are paying for. Air sealing your windows will keep the heat in and mean that you can use less heating to make your home warm. 
  • Insulation: speaking of making your home warm, adding insulation is an effective way to maintain heat. Insulation will maintain the heat and prevent you from using as much heating.

Using these tips, you can start to save money on your monthly bills. Instead of overusing energy and spending money on a car lease, you can reduce your bills and not spend so much each month.
