Save money on movie nights. Instead of running out to see a new movie, wait for those flicks to come to Redbox and have a movie night instead. Then you get the convenience of pausing for snacks or laughing hysterically with your friends without people glaring! If you would rather get out, see if you have a local discount movie theater.
Just because it’s getting cold doesn’t mean you need to break the bank. Using these tips and looking for other ways to save money doesn’t have to be a hassle. Have fun with it and get creative. Remember to keep in mind what you’re saving for. Maybe dreaming of that warm summer vacation to come will keep you motivated to save your pennies!
Make coffee at home (or in the office). It’s too easy to make Starbucks runs in the winter. Morning coffee is a must and we need those warm drinks to get us through afternoons in the office. Making the extra effort to get up a few minutes earlier to make coffee can be difficult when your bed is so warm and cozy in the winter, but it’s worth the savings. One of the best inventions is the timed coffee machine. Get it ready the night before, and in the morning it’s ready to go when you are! And if the coffee in your office is below-par, bring your own French press and grounds. Cutting out those daily coffee trips will make all the difference to your wallet.
