It seems that the much feared recession woes are hitting every industry and the best advice that most finance experts are giving today is to save what you have.
Ways to save money
:
Use Air Miles or Scene Card programs and save up to go to the movies - why pay extra?
Use gas credit cards like Petro Canada Petro points and save 2 cents/litre as long as you are paying it off every month.
Use timers for outdoor lights - works for both security and convenience. That way you do not forget to turn them off in the day like my neighbor often does. Works very well for Christmas lights too. Why have them on at 2:00 in the morning when no one will see them or care anyway.
