As Americans move from Spenders to Savers, learn about 12 Tips for Homeowners

Feb. 9, 2009

To view 12 Money Saving tips for homeowners, click on the second blue click below and watch a four minute video from NBC's Today Show.

As Americans move from net spenders to net savers, it seems that we're all looking for ways to save some extra cash.  As part of its ongoing "Save-a-Buck" series, NBC's The Today Show offers some pointers.

Among the tips, there's a split between common sense items and I-never-thought-of-that advice including:

  • Why you should cook with your microwave more often
  • Why you should keep closet doors closed
  • How your dryer's positioning may impact your energy bill

In all, the tips from the 4-minute video can save $125 per month -- $1,600 per year.  They're not all practical, but they're easy to implement.

 If people really want to get serious about saving money then they should add Bathroom Bidet Sprayers to all their bathrooms. Available at www.bathroomsprayers.com with these you won't even need toilet paper any more, just a towel to dry off! It's cheap and can be installed without a plumber; and runs off the same water line to your toilet. You'll probably pay for it in a few months of toilet paper savings. And after using one of these you won't know how you lasted all those years with wadded up handfuls of toilet paper. Now we're talking green and helping the environment without any pain.
