Cut Your Monthly Home Spend Drastically With These Smart Strategies

Reviews · December 14, 2018

Lottery winners, Rockefellers, and IT magnates like Bill Gates aside, for most of us money is not an unlimited source. Of course, that means when we are on a budget, it can really hurt to have to spend our hard earned cash on things that aren’t fun, even if they are essentials such as the cost of running your home. Happily, there are some smart strategies you can use to cut your monthly home cost dramatically. Just read on to find out what they are.

Reducing the cost of your grocery shop

For many householders, the single most expensive monthly cost is groceries including food, cleaning products, and toiletries. Happily, you can slash the price of this by shopping more smartly.

The first part of doing this is to stop buying on a weekly basis and move to a monthly system instead. Yes, you will need to buy in bulk and therein lies the advantage, because you can make some stunning savings this way.

The second part of shopping smarter is about comparing the prices for higher cost items between stores, something that you can use the internet to do. Then you can make instant savings on something that you were going payout for anyway! Win!

Keep machines in good repair

Another method that can help you to cut your monthly home spend drastically is to take the very best care of the machines you have in your home. Oh, and before you say that you don’t have any of these, consider the washer, refrigerator, and air conditioning unit.

In fact, by keeping the equipment in your home like your air conditioning unit working well, and repairing it as soon as anything goes wrong, you can save a fair amount of money both concerning monthly costs, and expensive replacements.

Of course, to do this, you will need to find a reputable maintenance provider like this ac company that services your location. Look for ones that have 24-hour call outs as well, just in case something does go wrong and you need it fixed ASAP.

Complete your own home maintenance tasks

While it nearly always pays to have a professional come to service or repair the complicated machines in the home like washing machines and dishwashers, you can save by doing other tasks yourself.

In particular, making the time to take care of your own garden and keep it as neat as possible can save a great deal of money, and needn’t be too difficult either. In fact, all you need to do is create an outdoor space that is as low maintenance as possible, something that you may wish to use decking, and easy-care plants like Cacti to achieve.

Similarly, while you might not feel like it, cleaning your own windows, especially on the inside is a great way to cut back on your monthly household spending. You don’t even need to invest in any fancy window wash either, as you can make something just as effective by combining everyday household ingredients, thus saving you even more money!

My Review/Thoughts~

My pets mean the world to me and I treat them like so. We have carriers for all of our pets. My greatest fear is that there is a fire and we would just grab our pets and run but what happens when we get outside as we have 2 pets that would shriek continuously as they were not in their surroundings and another 2 pets that would take off if they were not in a carrier. This is why I was so thrilled to include Ware Pets in my 2018 Holiday Gift Guide as this would make the perfect gift for anyone who has pets on your gift list. Not only was this very well made and has all the bells and whistles you would expect from a company who only does anything pet. These had to be the best priced products and you can go HERE to buy a pet item for yourself or that animal lover on your gift list.

I give Ware Pets my highest recommendation and my thumbs up.

TI:ME Slippers #Review #HGG18 @timeslippers

2018 Holiday Gift Guide, Reviews · December 7, 2018

I received the below mentioned complimentary product either for free or a discounted price for the purpose of this post. All opinions and thoughts are 100% my own.

About The Product/Company~

Our name stems from the idea that time is the ultimate currency. If everyone watched their minutes and seconds like they do their dollars and cents, they’d be a lot more relaxed.

TIME Slippers are designed to help you recharge so you can spend your life doing what really matters. They serve as a reminder to let go of the nonsense. To do less – better. This is the philosophy of High Performance Relaxation, and it’s infused into every aspect of our products. From stretch laces and flexible outsoles to a plush wool lining and yoga mat insoles.

We make the world’s most functional slippers.

We’re here to help you relax with purpose.

Men’s Low-top Slippers

The elastic laces and general flexibility of TIME slippers allow the uppers to form to your feet. For this reason we only carry whole-sizes in men’s slippers. Your slippers should feel slightly tight at first. After about two weeks of use, the uppers will relax and mold to your foot for a perfect fit. Do not go up or down more than a half-size away from your average size in other brands.

A custom rubber compound makes every step smooth – TIME Slippers move naturally with your foot.

With 10mm stretch laces, there is no tying necessary. You’ll wonder why you ever had shoe strings in the first place. Take comfort wherever you go with 6mm of yoga mat that is designed to ease stress.

My Review/Thoughts~

Slippers are the items Eric and I always ask for as a Holiday Gift. I spend 24/7 in my slippers and Eric puts his on as soon as he gets home from work. So, We put a lot of wear and tear on ours. This is why he chose to review the TI:ME Slippers. From the time he put them on his feet, He was sold on them. Eric says they are the most comfortable slippers he has ever worn. 1 week later and he refuses to wear anything else. I cannot say how much it means to me to have him not complain about his feet. If you have that hard to buy for person on your gift list, You really need to go HERE to buy a pair for yourself and for them.

My Review/Thoughts~

I suffer from a lot of arthritis issues and my doctor has stressed that I need a level below low impact exercise. She has said either swimming or walking. I did listen to her warnings but that was until I received the  DeskCycle Ellipse to review for my 2018 holiday gift guide. I really feel like this was the answer to my prayers as being on disability, I have limited exercise options. Setting up the DeskCycle Ellipse could not have been easier with it’s quick and easy assembly. I took it out of the box, Installed the right and left pedals and the 4 screws and you are all set to exercise. This could not have been simpler.   The DeskCycle Ellipse is the newest member of the DeskCycle family. It has 8 levels of smooth and quiet Magnetic Resistance. It has 17 inch long pedals which lets you choose the shape of your elliptical motion by where you place your feet. You can even place it under a desk clearing of 24 inches. I am so very happy that I found the DeskCycle Ellipse. If you have that person on your that has everything and you never have a clue as to what to get them, Then this is the perfect gift for them or even for yourself.

I highly recommend the DeskCycle Ellipse and give it my thumbs up. You can go HERE to purchase the DeskCycle Ellipse and you can also stay up to date by following them on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
