MONEY SAVINGS TIPS!

• Monitor your water bill for unusually high usage. Your bill and water meter are tools that can help you discover leaks.
• Listen for dripping faucets and running toilets. Fixing a leak can save you 300 gallons a month or more!
• Check your toilet tank for leaks. Put some dark or bright food coloring in your toilet tank. If it seeps into the toilet bowl without flushing, you have a leak between your tank and bowl. Getting this fixed can save up to 1,000 gallons a month.
• Get that leaky faucet fixed. It’s simple, inexpensive, and you can save 140 gallons a week; not to mention, you will save $$$.
• Know where your master water shut-off valve is located. This can save water and prevent costly damage to your home.
• Don’t use your toilet as an ashtray or trash can. Flushing garbage wastes 5 – 7 gallons of water per flush. Not to mention, it’s not good for your pipes and can cause costly clogs.
• Upgrade toilets, shower heads and faucets with water efficient models. You can save more than $90 per year in reduced water bills with water saving fixtures.
• Water only when necessary. More plants die from over-watering than from under-watering.

When you change your clocks ahead this Sunday, it’s a great time to do the following:

1. Change the batteries in your carbon monoxide and smoke detectors!

2. Change the filters to help your furnace and air conditioner run at optimal efficiency all year long. A standard filter should be changed once every 3 months while a 1” pleated filter may have to be changed once per month, especially with high amount pollen we get each Spring. We also have a line of high capacity filters that can be adapted to a system and usually last a year before requiring a change.

3. Clean out your closet. Donate items to charity for a year- end tax deductions or host a garage sale.

4. Skip your morning coffee shop trip! Put that money toward a vacation fund or groceries for the week.

5. Exercise outside. Skip the pricey gym workout and put that $20 -$30 toward your weekly expenses.

6. Create a weekly meal plan. Making a list will help you avoid temptation at the grocery store or resist the urge to eat out.

7. Set one new financial goal. Money management is a marathon – not a sprint – so it is important to stay motivated.
