1) If your wash machine breaks down and cannot be fixed, invest in a washing machine that will save water. The washing machine will recycle the water throughout the cycle. If you have to pay for city water this is a tremendous savings especially if you have a large family. You will feel better about "going green", too.
2) Hang clothes on a clothesline outside or in an area of your house that is discreet, yet warm enough to dry your clothes. You can always let the clothes dry for a day or two and then put the clothes in the dryer for ten minutes. Drying the clothes in the dryer for ten minutes will help get some of the wrinkles out. Plus, a dryer sheet will soften the clothes up and add a soft fresh smell.
3) Use a dryer sheet two times or cut the dryer sheet in half and use half of the dryer sheet at a time. I cannot tell the difference if I use one full sheet or either of these methods.
4) If you need new windows, a furnace, water heater, etc., it is worth spending a little more for a high energy efficient model.
5) When grocery shopping do not go to the store hungry. Your grocery bill can triple in cost. Try to stick to buying only the items on your list and items you use that are on sale.
You can save money by following some simple steps in tough economic times. Hopefully you will not lose your job but if you do, you will feel more secure knowing you have money saved. You will also feel more secure that you have become accustomed to saving money by doing simple steps.
