Especially during this trying time. One can only try to think up of ways to save. And be healthy!
Cut down on junk food and soft drinks.Not only would one get to save a about thirty dollars a month, but also lose a bit of tummy bulge to be able to get ready for that beach holiday.Approximate saving per month: $30.

Walk at least thirty minutes a day.If
one lived within an easy walk to work, it is smart and healthy to get
exercise. Walk either to work, or from work at least three times a week,
or more if one is not pressed with time. A good way to cut
transportation cost, save on petrol, and get that lazy bum to
walk.Approximate saving per month: $40.
Drop
your gym membership.One can easily save big bucks by getting into shape
the economical way. One need not be a member of Fitness First, or
Gold’s Gym or whatever. We’d only need to stick to our daily regimen of
walking, jogging and we’d be keeping fit and losing weight in no time.
Truly being healthy does not have to be expensive. It is better to use
hard earned moolah towards a much deserved holiday.Approximate saving
per month: $70.
Give your plastics a break. I
know some people enjoy retail therapy so much, but revert to being
stressed again once the credit card bill comes in. Really, one does not
need a new pair of jeans, shirt, underwear, shoes every week. Perhaps
indulge every other month or two, maybe. But not on a weekly
basis.Approximate saving per month: $100.
Cook
at home. Bring lunch to work. I don’t know anyone who does not
appreciate home cooked meals. They are a lot cheaper to prepare, way
healthier (without too much salt, or MSG, or other unhealthy ingredients
that restaurants or fast food put into your meal). Aside from hubby
appreciating your time spent cooking that delicious and healthy food,
you get to save.Approximate saving per month: $250.
At
the end of the month, if you’ve been good, imagine having an extra $500
to spend towards that dream holiday. I know not everyone may appreciate
that weekend away over something material (eg, hotel and spa pampering
versus new camera). However, if you are a travel buff like myself, you
would think up ways to save up for that goal: holiday! Come to think of
it, spending wisely leads to a healthy lifestyle as well. Now, it is
just a matter of putting to action all these nice things!
