Online Coupons: Easy Ways To Save Money Each Month
My good buddy Kyle of Rather-Be-Shopping.com returns, this time with some ways to save money each month as well as–you guessed it–more money saving coupons. Mahalo for doing yet another great guest post here, Kyle!
I was reading some articles on Yahoo! Finance last weekend and stumbled upon an article by Ben Steverman, titled 25 Ways To Save More Each Month that I thought had some great advice in it. I won’t go through all 25 because I don’t want to bore you, but I wanted to share what I thought were the 5 best pieces of advice. Here they are in no particular in order:
~ Stop Paying For Premium Cable. While this piece of advice is fairly straight-forward, I have found a way to keep premium cable and also pay less. About a month ago, I called up my cable company to cancel services and they offered me not only free movies channels, but also $10 off my monthly bill for 8 months. They want your business really bad. I would recommend you call your cable company today and say you want to cancel and see what they will give you! I think you will be really surprised with what they offer.
~ Pay Bills Online. I love the ability to pay bills online. Not only do you save money on stamps, but also time. I can sit down at the computer and pay 5 bills in a matter of minutes.
~ Consider Alternatives to a Gym Membership. I started riding my bike a couple years ago in lieu of a gym membership. Not only do I save money, but I get outdoors and enjoy the beauty of the area where I live. Another excellent option is a brisk walk in your neighborhood in the evenings or before work.
~ Waiting Period for Major Purchases. The article suggests 48 hours as a good waiting period. I love this advice and it definitely works for me. After the 48 hours period has elapsed I have typically lost the “buyers urge” and have moved on with my life!
~ Shop Smart, Shop Online. And of course my favorite piece of advice, shop smart by using coupons! Steverman also points to other ways to save money when shopping online. Printable coupons, online coupons, and price comparison websites to name a few.
And speaking of online coupons, here are the most popular ones on my website so far in August. Hope they can help you save some money.
