How To Save Money: 10 Things You Don't Need

Times are tough, but saving money isn't. Just decide what you can do without. Here are 10 common but unnecessary purchases you don't need. Times are tough, but saving money isn't. Just decide what you can do without. Here are 10 common but unnecessary purchases you don't need.

Step 1: Credit Card Protection Plans

They promise to make minimum payments if you lose your job. But they add a significant amount to your monthly bill- money better spent paying down balances.

Step 2: Commercial Grade Appliances

Americans are eating out more than ever, and an inexpensive microwave heats take-out quite well.

Step 3: Detox

Teas, colonics, even Japanese foot pads claim to detoxify your body. Your liver and kidneys do that for free.

Step 4: Jeans

The average American woman owns 8 pairs or more. Even at 75% off put them back.

Step 5: Kleenex Box Covers

Research has shown tissue works fine without a cover.

Step 6: Gag Gifts

Gag gifts are only funny once. And they're not even that funny. No refunds. Same goes for cutesy knick-knacks.

Step 7: Air Fresheners

If your house stinks, clean it. That should take care of the odor.

Step 8: Satellite Navigation

The vast majority of drivers know exactly where they're going. If you don't, online directions are free.

Step 9: Big Box Bulk

If you don't use it, it's not a bargain. It's a waste.

Step 10: Home Exercise Equipment

Most of it ends up unused, and there are far cheaper ways to hang up wet socks.

    I wouldn't live this way where you couldn't allow yourself what you want and cut your wishes everytime... but it's ok when you're able to count money nevertheless it's not a lifestyle! that's why I reccomend another author - David Zimmermann. if you really need normal attitude to a thrift you should read his view on www.d-zimmermann.com
