Given the state of the world’s economy, people are looking to reduce costs any way they can. While technology may seem like an expense, there are actually many ways in which using technology can help you save. For example, using a webcam instead of a landline phone. How do you think technology can help you reduce costs during this recession?
Having internet access allows you to email family and friends and use live chat instead of mailing letters which wastes paper or instead of using a phone.
You can go to coupon saving sites and get different coupons. www.save.ca is one site. And you can go to this site at the beginning of every week and pick different products to get coupons for.
I save on diapers for my daughter by joining huggies site. They mail me coupons for money off the purchase of huggies wipes and diapers.
Flyer Mall is a site that you can go to to view the flyers for grocery stores and clothing stores, places like that. That way you can see what deals are on in that store and save more money instead of going to the store.
I always make a list of what I NEED at the grocery store and a what I WANT list. I always get the NEEDS first and if I have enough money left over, I get the WANTS last.
Also, if you have a cell phone instead of a home phone, you can always stay in contact with people instead of missing calls for important things like job interviews and such. I have a cell phone and home phone but am getting rid of the home phone. That will save me just over $35 a month. Money that I can put towards more things for my daughter.
