Its time to start the spring clean and summer savings! Over the next few weeks I hope to post a lot of ways for saving and cleaning for the warmer weather that is already here.
When it comes to spring and summer, it seems like our spending gets a little worse while our wallets seems to get a little smaller. So to combat our ever shrinking wallets, let start off with a little saving!
One goal I have in mind is for the electric. You probably hear it all the time, but turning off your air conditioning can save you money. And keeping it off can save you loads of money. So I have it set in my head I am keeping the air off until July. (Ha! Lets see if I can keep that way.)
Ways to keep cool though while the air is off is the tricky part. Besides keeping windows up and fans blowing in your window a few thing that can be done are...
1.) Change our your curtains for sheer ones. This not only can bring in lots of natural light into your house, but also allows more air to escape and flow.
2.) During the hottest part of the day, bowls of ice and water in front of the fans work almost as good as air conditioning. When you are done with the water, you can water your plants outside with it, so nothing is wasted. :)
3.) Trade out heavy comforters for lighter blanks. And the same for all the pillows. I am not saying replace all your pillows with thin ones, just maybe take the heavy pillows. I have no idea if this actually makes your house cooler, but it makes you feel cooler.
4.) Now this one is really up to you. I do this sometimes, because it does help somewhat, but not using your oven help to not put heat in the house. I actually like to do a day where I cook all my meals in one day and I freeze them. All I have to do is pull it out and pop it in the microwave for a few minutes.
5.) Same goes for your dryer. Keeping your dyer to limited use works as well. But I understand not liking that weird feel in your clothes after they have been air dried outside. :P
Anywhoalls!
this is just the beginning., I will keep you update with my goal of keeping my goal of keeping my air off until July. No worries I am not too crazy. It it gets hot enough the air will go on, but not until then!
Another few things to add, which I hope to start posting in every post is a deal of the week! Since it the end of the week, here is an awesome deal for you. Lots of coupons for Silk milk. I am going to use mine for their dark chocolate milk. One thing I love and my family loves is chocolate milk. Problem is it not that healthy. Now this Dark Chocolate Milk from Silk, still have it sugar, but a is a few calories less and has lots more vitamins than your normal sugar and calorie filled drink. It is also richer and fuller in taste then regular chocolate. Here is a couple links below

God bless
Until another day
Toodles!
