There was a time when laser printers were very expensive. This is no longer the case. Cannon Laser Printers, Lexmark Laser Printers, and HP Laser Printers are all now very affordable!

Save Money By Eating Dinner At The Table

Save a little bit in many ways by sitting down to eat dinner at the table. First off everyone is at the table so there is no TV or video game or computer using energy. Second, it saves on tee oven, stove-top and/or microwave being used multiple times. The benefit is it gives everyone some together time!

Play Games To Save Money

Pick one night a week to turn off your Play Station 4, your X-Box One, your Wii or other console video game and play a board game! It does not seem like much but every time you turn off the TV and game console you save a little bit of money. There is a second upside to this. You get to build family togetherness. It might be tough at the beginning but it will get easier with time. Have each person choose a game to play and get them involved!

Save On The High Cost Of Entertainment

Saving money on entertainment is a huge deal these days. Try Netflix instead of cable or satellite and you can save HUGE money! For the cost of renting 3 or 4 dvds at you local video store you can have access to thousands of movies and TV shows on Netflix! There are now two different options with Netflix. DVD's and downloads. You can get dvds mailed to your home or stream shows directly to your TV or computer. The downloads are not always very current so if you want to watch the newest movies right when they come out I suggest getting the DVD option. If you just are looking for something to watch I suggest the download option. If you want both, get both, it is still MUCH cheaper than cable, satellite or renting! Just note that the streaming downloads do use internet data so make sure you have a decent package on downloading!

Save Money On Ink Cartridges

Ink cartridges are a very expensive part of printing. Try using the "Draft Print" option on anything you are printing for yourself. This includes instructions and draft copies of papers!
