Here are some tips to save even more money in 2011. These are guaranteed points that work, and you will see you bank account grow over time.
1) Save Money at Lunch: Bring lunch from home. The average cost of buying lunch in the city is $10.00 a day. I did the math, and it comes to $2,500 a year (give or take a week or two). Instead of wasting food from home, just bring it into the office with you. You can even show off your Transformers lunchbox.
2) Save Money on Coffee: Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts. Really? Trust me, I love my coffee, it can be cheaper by brewing your own. Get a Keurig and your set. It might be more money up front, but will pay itself back in the long run.
3) Save Money on Commuting: Carpooling might not be an option for some, due to public transportation, but ask your manager if you can work from home one or two days a week, or use a flexible work schedule to avoid rush hour. An increasing number of employers are more open to telecommuting and flexible hours.
4) Switch to Free Entertainment: Is your cable or satellite television bill astronomical? Consider canceling services and finding free ways to entertain the family.You can probably find your favorite TV shows for free on the Internet, usually at the Web site of the network, such as ABC or NBC. This is a proven fact.
5) Mint.com: Use this FREE service to track your bills and spending. This site can import all your bills and factor out everything you need for better money management.
