Electric food and gas.
Here are a few idea's I had
Electric:
Turn things off standby
cook a large meal on a sunday and freeze 6 containers to last til the following saturday (saves cooker electric).
turn off all lights when not in use
Do only full loads of washing
hang clothes out in the summer, saves tumble dryer
Gas:
wear warmer clothes, saves central heating
food is the biggest thing im trying to cut on I worked out £100/month would manage me, but I wanna lower it to like £70.
Im 16 now btw jst planning early
Don't forget to budget in cash for misc. expenses- ya never know what could come up. Kudos for thinking early!
For Food, always buy store brand products or generic stuff. It's basically the same stuff!
If you'll be working near home invest in a bike, not a car. They are money pits! From insurance, to maintenance, to gas…YUCK! Try to find a job near where you live or off the tram!
Furnishings- try and see what your parents will give you, Find stuff at garage sales, rumage sales, church sales, etc. Never buy from the store!!!
Clothes- HANG them up after you wear them, that will allow you to wear them more than once!
Turn off everything every time you leave your place. While you are away at work or for extended periods of time put your thermostat at either 80 degrees in the summer and 60 degrees in the winter. Use coupons. Don't get into credit card debt. Turn off all your lights at night and look for little red lights or power lights, these items leach your electricity. Get a special plug that cuts off the power to these items when not in use. Replace your incandescent bulbs with halogen bulbs. All of these if followed will minimize your bills.
You are definitely on the right track, especially with cooking once a week.
When you cook or make a meal, think about what you want before you open the refrigerator and then get everything out at once, so you don't have to keep opening it and letting the cold air out.
For buying food, buying bulk is the best way to go, but make sure you don't get a lot of something that will spoil, because then you have wasted money and food. Try to find a friend in the same situation, and then split things like a head of lettuce, or milk, or whatever it is you want but can't use before it spoils. It is almost always cheaper to buy bulk, so splitting perishable items is a good way to save.
To stay warmer in the winter, wear a hat. That is where most of the body loses its heat, so a hat helps you stay warmer. Buy double-sided tape and clear plastic to cover the windows and keep drafts out. Get the little foam sheets that go under the socket and switch plates and keep those drafts out that way. Put a rolled towel at the base of the door.
Get automatic thermostats for the heat and turn down heat to 50 degrees Farenheit during the night or when you are away from home. Purchase extra blankets to keep warm in winter for your bed and for lounging and watching Tv. An electric blanket is very warm and you don't heat the entire room.
Turn off water when brushing teeth, Take short showers, no more than 10 minutes.
Purchase appliances that are rated 'energy efficient'.
Only purchase items when they are discounted. unless absolutely needed, such as items that you eat regularly, buy extra quantities when on sale.
When going out, plan your travels in the most efficient route to avoid extra trips.
Buy clothing from the 2nd-hand shops
Avoid wasting food. Do not buy junk food. Eat more vegetables, grains, eggs, fruits, and less meat which is more expensive. Make a list of items before going shopping.
Read books and magazines from the library, get films and music from the library or borrow from friends. Listen to radio instead of collecting disks.
Learn to fish and hunt, if you are inclined.
Establish a savings account, so you can pay cash, because purchasing on credit costs more.
Get the newspaper on days when it has coupons.
When planning entertainment, research if there is a lower price date or time, to avoid paying a premium for entertainment.
Purchase a window fans and ceiling fans to provide cooling in the summer, Open windows at night to provide cool air, close windows in morning.
The biggest savings on food come from doing more of the work yourself. Things like saving meat bones for broth, planting a garden, hunting, butchering small game yourself, eating more staple grains (rice and beans), and purchasing large amounts of food on sale or with coupons.
