save money in so many ways

At times like these that anything seems to be too expensive because the prices of basic commodities are way too high, the best thing that we can do is to save money in the most possible way that we can. When I was in college, money is not a problem to me because my parents just provide me anything that I need. They just gave me allowance for the whole month and I don’t have to worry about monthly expenses like utility bills, food and more. Unlike now that I am 27 and my father already retired from his job, I have no choice and I know it’s my obligation to provide somethin’ for this family. Year’s ago I’ve suggested to my father to have some of our appliances be replaced with those that have energy efficients feature for its low consumption of electricity that would help us save more money. From refrigerators, washing machine, portable air conditioner, to energy saving lights were all replaced. Even our desktop computers were also replaced by laptop computers. I am always online almost 24/7 so imagine how much we’ve already saved for electricity.

Even the eating habits were also changed just to save some more money. We used to eat pork which now costs too much that’s why I suggested to my mom not to buy pork and instead use tofu as an alternative. My special someone also suggested to use veggie meat as a substitute to pork. I don’t know yet where I could buy them so if you are living here in Manila and know where I could buy them then please don’t forget to leave a comment. I’m having a hard time where I could buy those veggie meats.

How about you? Can you suggest something that would also help in saving money. Let me know!
