Finding Small Ways to Save

By just making a few small changes in your spending habits, you can save money. Here is a short list of ways you can save money:


Brown Bag It: Bring your lunch to work. This is likely to be very difficult. Start out with once a week and slowly increase until you find a balance.


Use the Library: Instead of buying books, borrow books from the library.


Matinee: Ever heard of going to a movie before 6:00 pm? The ticket prices are a few dollars less. And if you don’t absolutely want to see that movie right away, wait for it to go to the discount theater.

Sell stuff on eBay: Can’t really have a yard sale in winter. And besides, you reach a much wider audience online, who tend to appreciate more what you have to offer.


Establish automatic savings: Each paycheck, save a little as $10. With AFCU’s Dedicated Savings account, it will automatically take this from your account and put it away into a stash of cash. Check it out!

I've started taking my own lunch to work each day and it has made huge difference.
