Turn the thermostat down a degree or two.
Make sure all unnecesary lights are turned off in the house.
Fewer trips to town in the car.
Packing a lunch for work.
All things I have been doing since I started my blog a few days ago.
It's just making myself aware of saving money and making it a focus that I am working on right now.
Another thing I have heard about for gas saving.
Make sure the car tires are at the right air pressure.
I have been a frivolous spender most of my life concerning many of these things.
My DH always wanted me to be more conservative in these ways, now that I am I know he likes it.
My father was such a tight wad. He was really a sweetheart but very saving, grew up in the depression.
So I really grew tired of that growing up.
Always said, when I get married, I'm going to have "fresh bread whenever I want it." And I have too.
My dad was a tight wad
