You are missing the basic element.
You need to have a budget.
First thing to eliminate is credit card interest. Pay them off and cut them up.
Start a list of every penny you spend. do it for a month, decide where you can reduce, do it and start a new list.
List the necessities first:
Food
Rent
Transportation
After a month, you will be surprised where your money goes. Google Dave Ramsey 17% 1 Vote -

You need to look at what is costing you the most money. If you live in an area where energy is cheap, energy conservation is not going to make much of an impact on your bottom line.

It would seem that your electricity bill would be lower. Gardening might be something to look into. Raising your own vegetables could save grocery bills. Also sell things that you no longer need/use.

dont buy paper towels, instead use cloth rags and rewash go into the internet and look for coupons for the resturants you use, I know you can find coupons for resturants on the webb you can get a 20.00 card for 10.00 dallors just look up coupons .com or resturants coupons.com and you can save money by canning and freezing your fruits and vegetables, also save your grocery bags if their plastic and use them for garbage bags. put plastic wrap on the windows in the winter to keep the cold out, save old bread for bread pudding or meatloaf, or even french toast. thats all for now I haven%26#039;t all day. Good Luck April

Are you saving money on water use too? Showering instead of bathing, washing with a hand towel instead of showering?
Do you have a garden with plants that require a lot of watering? Can you rig up drip irrigation using rubber tubing? Can you replace some of the plants for others that are easier to maintain?
You might want to look up a few books on the wartime economy from WWII. I recently saw one that had economically efficient recipes that provided a healthy diet.
I find a lot of really good information on the Internet (are you with the most economical provider? Have they added unnecessary services to your bills?)
As has been said above, whatever methods you take, make sure you feel comfortable living that way or you%26#039;ll go up the wall. Sitting around at home all day to save money going out to the mall will drive you crazy, so taking walks in the outdoors will help you. Perhaps you can even get together a dog walking job and earn some money at the same time! 0% 0 Votes -
1) Try and use towels/rags instead of napkins.
2) Showers use less water than baths.
3) If you hand wash your dishes by fulling the sunk with water, you should use the dishwater. But if you use little water while handwashing the dishes, you shouldn%26#039;t use the dishwasher.
4) Do your laundry in bigger loads, but with smaller amounts of water.
5) Try and get one of those water - saving toilets that use less water, so your water bill gets down.
6) Don%26#039;t keep the refridgerator open too long. Think about what you are going to get out and then open it.
