Take a look around and you will see many ways to save money, from optimizing energy consumption to growing your own herbs. Here are some ideas to keep in mind.
Plant your garden, even on a windowsill
Don't waste money on herbs and greens that wither quickly in your refrigerator - plant your own garden on a windowsill and enjoy fresh leaves and bunches all year long. In the winter, keep the pots in a sunny window, and in the summer, move them outside to the courtyard. One package of seeds costs from 5 rubles, and from it you will receive more greens than you can eat.
Save in the shower
Using the right amount of water is good for both your wallet and the environment. To save money, take a shower, not a bath. A five-minute shower will take half the water! For even more savings, fit aerators on shower heads and faucets. They save you money by mixing air with water. They cost about 200 rubles apiece, and cheap ones can be bought for 30. Adding an aerator to each tap in the house will reduce water consumption by more than 3 thousand liters per year.
Dust
Household appliances are the largest consumer of electricity in your home, and how you service them determines their efficiency. To keep your refrigerator in top condition and to reduce costs, thoroughly vacuum the back wall at least once every three months to eliminate the accumulation of dust and dirt that makes the refrigerator less efficient.
Save on cooking
You can save a lot of electricity simply by changing your cooking habits. Use a multicooker, small electric pans, airfryer, or microwave for cooking whenever possible. They are generally 75% more energy efficient than electric stoves and ovens. If you use the latter, keep them clean.
Advice! If you have a gas stove, cover it with foil. Thus, the dishes will heat up faster and cool down more slowly. This will save you time on cleaning!
Save on washing
Typically, a family will wash their laundry 200 and some 300 times a year, which together leads to a large consumption of energy and water. To save money, it is best to use washing machines of energy efficiency class A +, A ++, A +++. To save even more, wash and rinse your clothes in cold water. Also, do not use a dryer if possible.
Rinse off correctly
The dual cistern toilet saves you money every time you go to the toilet.
On points: 1. "and in the summer, take them outside to the courtyard."In the town? Either in a day there will be no "garden", or they will eat with dust, heavy metals and waste products of cats and dogs.
2. My refrigerator has a closed back panel, there is nothing to vacuum.
3. I have a gas stove, so from electrical appliances only a blender, a coffee grinder and a mixer.
4. There is no dryer in my washer either - I have enough space to put the dryer on the floor without electricity.
5. On the toilet, you can save even with one button - press it not to the end, then the drain will be less.
