Every now and then, it’s a good idea to take a look at your budget and see if there are a few ways to save money at home. With the cost of clothing, food, gasoline, and more on the rise, The Texan and I are paying close attention to what we’re spending and always looking for easy ways to cut expenses.
3 Ways to Save Money at Home
1) Get Rid of Cable or Satellite Television services. It will be a HUGE adjustment going from 34292853 channels you never watch, but you won’t miss opening the $140 bill each month! There are several monthly subscription services available that allow you to watch great programming, and paying $8 a month is a much better deal.
Can you imagine if you were putting an extra $100 toward your car payment or mortgage each month instead of in the hands of your television provider?
2) Call your insurance company. You can often obtain a reduced rate on your auto insurance policy simply by making a quick call to your insurance company. Has your commute to and from work decreased? Had a change in employers? If so, you may qualify for a reduced rate. There are ways to save on your home policy, too. If you have a sprinkler system, an alarm, or reside near a fire department discounts may be made available.
3) Switch to Solar Power. Go solar with Sunrun and start saving on your electricity bill immediately. Electricity from Sunrun is more affordable than electricity from your utility. What’s great about Sunrun is that they install, insure, monitor and maintain the solar system that is designed specifically for you and your home. You just pay a low, locked-in rate for the electricity that the panels produce. Awesome, right?
Sunrun has a special offer for Nap Time is My Time readers. If you go solar with Sunrun before November 30, 2014, you’ll get a $500 VISA® Prepaid Card. (Conditions apply.) Get a free solar quote here.
