Money Saving Tips

""When it comes to saving money, we all have our quirky little habits.  Some of these are clever and thrifty.  Some are wasteful or silly." Kathleen Fox

Some habits that are clever and thrifty are:  buying big (if that is the better buy) on nonperishable items, do it yourself if you have the skill and tools, air-drying dishes in the dishwasher (I always open the door and let it air dry).  I would also add, if your electric company has different rates for different times of day - as mine does, using the clothes dryer and anything using hot water during the time of lower rates.  Some things that can be wasteful are:  postponing maintenance, overstuffing the washer, doing it yourself if you do not have the skill.  With the extreme expense of caring for someone with dementia, we can all use a few easy tips to save money.
