Save $2,553 a year - Anyone Can! It's Simple, Easy and FREE!
Save $2,553 a year - Simple and Easy and Free!
Saving money is not always hard. Often it just takes is commitment and that is free. Often it usually just takes a simple desicion - do I or don't I? And that is free
You simply have to look at what you are doing. How hard is that? Not very hard. And most importantly: Don't look at your expenses on a daily basis. A buck a day is no big deal. It won't make you or break you.
HOWEVER
and that's a BIG HOWEVER,
when you look at the expense on a monthly scale - a buck a day is actually $30 a month - and $30 IS a big deal! And can add up quickly before you even realize it!
Here are the 5 simple and easy ways to save over $2,500 a year!
Save $365 - A regular cup of coffee is about a buck. One cup of coffee a day is costing you $365 a year. (Make it at home or get it at work!)
Save $1,368 - A flavored speciality cup of coffee is about $3.75 (or more!). One cupof flavored speciality coffee is costing you $1,368 a year. (Holy Cow! Were you aware that you were spending that much? - do the math $3.75 x 365!)
Save $195 - - One soda from a vending machine is about 75¢. With about 260 work days a year, this soda is costing you $195 a year (buy a 6 pack at the store and take one with you every day!)
Save $260 - One bottle of water from a vending machine is about $1.00. With about 260 work days a year, this bottle water is costing you $260 a year (buy a case at the store and take one with you every day!)
Save $365 - Put $1.00 a day in a "piggie bank". That's $365 a year! Good way to use your change, clean out your pockets or purse at the end of the day!)
Add these up and you can save $2,553 in a year!
And these are just a couple things that are common -just to get the point across. If you don't drink the flavored coffees, what do you drink? A large soda from a fast food on the way to work? Those are about $1.69 x 260 days a year - your savings would be $439 a year! What do you do on a daily basis? Pick a few and stop doing them once a day and save that money! You'll never miss it!!!
JUST THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH $2500!!!
If you start now, you can collect that money in a savings account, collect the interest for the next year and you will have a nice nest egg for Christmas next year!! Or $1500 for your summer vacation next year! Or pay off a large debt by next year!
Want save $5,106 a year?
The above figures are for doing these things ONCE A DAY. Do them twice a day and
your savings will double! Most drink more than one soda a day or get a coffee on the way to work and on the way home!!!
Want to save even more?
Some of the above mentioned steps are based on "work days" in the year of about 260 days a year. If you were to expand the "work day" to all 365 days in a year - your savings would increase!
Take a look at what you are doing each day. Then add up what you have done and you
decide - "Do I really want all that stuff or do I want that money for something special?"
Remember, Save a Little to Save Alot!

I think your ideas are great! I used to drink a diet coke a day at work, but for the past 6 weeks I have only drank water at work (from a bottle I filled myself. I only work part time, but I have still saved 3-4 dollars a day, and am buying no soda at all. I am also watching carbs and fats and have lost 13 lbs! Hooray! It's really easy to get used to drinking water. A little lemon is good in your water, also.
Sheryl - GOOD GOING!!! that is so great! You should be very proud of yourself! You deserve it!
