It's summer, which means you're already sitting pretty with your heat and electricity bills lowered, but with the heat and longer days there's so many more ways to make the most of summer savings!
- Use a clothesline
- It's a pain in the winter but a nice change in summertime
- Avoid using your oven
- This will keep the heat down and save on cooling costs
- Plant a garden
- Even a few of your favourite veggies
- Invest in a rain barrel
- Use it for watering your garden or let your kids play with this water instead
- Garage sales
- Host your own to earn extra cash, or visit them to get your Christmas/Birthday shopping done on the cheap!
- Bike or walk
- Enjoy the sun, get exercise, and save money on transportation costs!
- Eat in season
- Fruits and veggies are in season right now, enjoy them fresh or freeze for the winter
- Take advantage of free events
- Summertime always seems to be filled with different community events
- Avoid anything that costs money for fun
- Think: beach, hiking, parks, camping, etc.
- Start a new business
- Maybe it's the nice weather, or the sunshine, but summer seems to give extra energy. Take advantage of this and start a business! Maybe you'll do direct sales, start a photography business, bake cakes, or whatever you're good at! With weddings and birthdays and summer parties, there's a lot more opportunity for growth that will last through the winter.
