We’re all looking for ways to save a little money here and there, and there are some easy tricks to help lower your monthly expenditures. For example, we all know we should change the filter monthly and adjust the thermostat while no one is home to save energy, but did you know that if you have closets along exterior walls, keeping those closet doors closed can help insulate the house and lowers the square footage your HVAC has to keep cool?
You’ve probably already made the switch from incandescent bulbs to energy efficient CFL’s, but have you thought about installing a dimmer switch for even more energy savings? Making your own laundry detergent and cleaning solutions is a good way to save a few bucks each time you go to the grocery store and the bonus is you can avoid using harsh chemicals by making safer alternatives.
