The winter months can be slow, from a financial standpoint, for many people across the United States. This holds especially true for seasonal workers and people that live in colder climates. Now that the summer is over, and we are into the autumn season, it’s time to get serious about saving money. The good news is that it may be a lot easier than you think. The following information will teach you five (5) ways to save money this fall.
Don’t Turn Up The Heat Just Yet
Although you may be tempted to take the chill out of the air, it is important to resist the temptation to turn on the heat. Put on a sweater or sweatshirt and sweatpants instead. Cuddle up under a blanket when chilling out on the couch. Use an extra blanket in bed. Keep the following in mind. If your heating bill costs $300/month, it averages $10 per day. Even if you can wait a week or two it will save you hundreds of dollars. In addition, if you practice this principal during the winter, you will be able to cut your heating bill in half.
Rake Your Own Leaves
If you usually hire a professional landscaper, or even a neighborhood kid to rake your leaves in the fall, you can save a lot of money by doing the task yourself. Although raking leaves may not sound fun, and there are other things you could be doing with your free time, it is good exercise. That means you will save money and burn calories at the same time. In addition, you may very well feel a sense of self-satisfaction for accomplishing the task on your own.
Make Your Own Halloween Costumes
Halloween is right around the corner. That means you will need costumers for yourself and for your family even if you are taking part in a virtual activities. However, purchasing these costumes is expensive, especially when you need multiple costumes. The good news is that you can save a lot of money by making your own Halloween costumes. Get creative. People will appreciate the thought and time you put into it.
Don’t Give Away Expensive Halloween Candy
Speaking of Halloween, you certainly don’t need to spend a lot of money on candy for the neighborhood kids. Although you may be tempted to hand out the large size candy bars this year, it really is not necessary. You don’t need to be the neighborhood hero this year. In fact, if you turn off your lights and skip it altogether, it’s completely understandable in the Covid era.
Do Seasonal Crafts To Entertain The Kids
Entertaining the kids and yourself can be an expensive endeavor at any time of the year, but it gets even more expensive when the beaches and pools are closed for the season. That means you need to get creative with craft related projects instead of spending money on expensive items.
