Household and Utilities: If a faucet or pipe leaks, fix it. Even a small leak can waste hundreds of gallons per year, causing you to pay for something that you didn't need or use.
Consider This: If an item has a rebate, use it. Don't pass up this opportunity for additional savings, especially if it is a large amount.
Recreation / Vacationing / Entertainment: If possible, go on vacation off-season to save on travel expenses. Hotel and airfare will likely be cheaper, so research several possible dates before planning your trip.
Consider This: If something isn't important to you, don't spend money on it. For example, if you only watch T.V. on occasion or have decided that other things are more important, don't buy cable or a T.V. Many shows can be viewed online for free, and DVD's can be viewed on a computer.
Household and Utilities: If you are running your air conditioning on a hot summer day, avoid using the oven as it heats your home. Instead, prepare cold meals or ones that require minimal heating.

Time Saving Tips
Priorities: Always remember what your goals are. Keep a written list or put up visual reminders to ensure that you strive to reach them.
Cleaning: As far as time management is concerned, cleaning is like other tasks. Develop a plan before you begin to aid you in staying on track and finishing on time.
Work: At work, know exactly what is expected of you. Once you know your employer's priorities, you can focus on accomplishing what your boss expects you to do first. Focus on lower priority items later.
Work: At work, know who is in charge of each assignment so that if necessary you can go straight to the source with any questions.
Organizing: Attach a piece of paper to the refrigerator. As you cook, record any items you will soon need to purchase.
