Want to save money but don’t know how? Feel like depriving yourself when it comes to saving money? Don’t be disheartened. Try these five money saving ideas, without breaking up a sweat!
Reduce or eliminate magazines. If you are a typical American family, your mailbox gets its regular fill of magazines: business, sports, home and garden magazines. Can you imagine how much each of these subscriptions cost? Annually, it is an average of about $20 per magazine. If your family is subscribed to 5 different magazines, that’s already $100 savings per year! If you still need the information from such mags, try to check out their websites and you’ll be surprised at how much free information is available! tienshealth
Buy in bulk. How can warehouse and discount clubs drastically lower their prices? Because they buy and sell in bulk. And so should you! Consumables that are non-perishable can be purchased 10-15% cheaper when bought in bulk. Be sure to stock up only on fast-moving items such as kitchen towels, cleaners, canned goods, etc., to avoid wasting money on rancid food.
Eat at home. Eating out has become an American lifestyle. What used to be an activity to celebrate special occasions
Plan your meals. Eating out 4X a week need not be your solution to a dynamic lifestyle. Menu planning is! Take time on weekends to plan for the following week’s meals. Every night, before you hit the sack, take out the ingredients for the meals of the next day from the freezer, and store them in the refrigerator. By the time you get home from work, everything is thawed and ready to be cooked. And because eating out is part of the American way of life, you would have saved enough money to spend for dining out on special occasions!

Fresh Ingredients
I am a big fan of Gordon Ramsey’s television show Kitchen Nightmares. In fact, I never miss an episode. After watching several of these shows there is one constant theme that I think needs to be addressed. Gordon always and I do mean always tells the chefs that he is trying to help that they should use fresh ingredients.
If it is prepackaged like a Medifast meal replacement meal then it is not fresh. I have seen this man instantly turn around terrible restaurants by making this one change and it can make all the difference in your kitchen as well.

Steak Mesquite anyone?
I love steak. I mean I really love steak. I thought I had tried steak every possible way you could cook it. That was until a friend of mine grilled me one on his cast iron chiminea. He said that the secret was to burn mesquite along with the regular fire logs that he had prepared. I tell you the flavour and smokiness it gave the steak was simply divine. I don’t think I’ve tasted anything like it. It makes me wonder what other woods are good at flavouring meat. Apparently mesquite also works well smoking brisket. I may just have to get me a cast iron chiminea and do some experimenting of my own.

A Home Wine Making Tip
So recently I was playing around with some of my favorite home wine making recipes and I wanted to see if I could integrate some avocado into my creations. Now this took a lot of thought on my part because an avocado is not really the type of fruit that you try to turn into wine, it doesn’t have nearly enough juice in it … it is basically all meat. So here is what I did. I took all the fruit from the avocado and turned it into a mash. I then boiled the mash on the stove with just a little bit of water to create a reduction. wine making recipes
