3 Ways to Save $125 a Week

Saving requires discipline  BUT with these three helpful

tips, you can be on your way to saving $125 a week, which

is equivalent to $6,500 a year.

1. Bring your lunch to work

On average, buying lunch costs around $8.00 a meal.

If this is done 5 days a week, this adds up to $40.00/ week.

Prepare left overs from the night before or hit the

grocery store to put together a lunch of your choice.

SAVINGS: $30.00

2. Have a night in

Going to the club or out to eat will run you anywhere from

$40 - $120.  This includes a meal (for a restaurant) and cover

charge and drinks (for a club).

SAVINGS: $70.00

3.  Carpool

One tank of gas will average out to be anywhere between $40 - 50.

When this is split in half by carpooling, your costs are cut in half.

If this doesn't seem to be an effective choice for you, how about

public transit.  With rates at $2.75 for adult fares, you are still

saving on gas and car maintenance in the long run.

SAVINGS: $25.00

So, the next time you think about how convenient it would be

to do all of these things, think twice and remind yourself 

how much you could be saving if you didn't.
