Each year, the average American home spends $3,000 on eating out. 

It seems like every time you take a step out of the house these days, you end up spending at least $50. Maybe you went to get gas, grab a coffee, or meet your friends for lunch.

Whatever you do, you’re tired of spending so much money doing it. So, why not start saving money at home? Yep, you heard us right.  

Are you wondering how to save money at home? We’ll show you 6 effective solutions in the guide below. 

1. Turn Your Home Into a Getaway

Increase your savings account by decreasing your global excursions. 

We’re not saying you can’t ever sip wine in Italy ever again, but vacations can easily cost thousands of dollars. Save money by turning your home into a getaway. 

Grab a bottle of sunscreen, a few picnic items, and a book. Lay out in the sun and sink into your own staycation. 

2. Cut Down on Utility Costs

You’re paying at least $100 each month for utilities. Save on energy and money by cutting down on electricity and water costs. 

Remember to always shut your lights off when you aren’t using them, and limit the length of your showers. Only wash full loads in the washer, and try drying your clothes outside in the summer sun. 

To save big bucks, consider investing in solar energy to eliminate your power bill. 

3. Try New Recipes

Forget making reservations at a nearby restaurant. Become a chef within the walls of your own kitchen. 

Look up some easy, delicious dinner recipes online. Make them by yourself, or encourage your family members to help. 

Save any leftovers for lunch the next day. Look at you saving money!

4. Go Green

Speaking of leftovers, use reusable containers to store food. 

Becoming more eco-friendly in your home can save you tons of money. Plus, it’ll feel great knowing you’re showing a little love to Mother Earth. 

Buy reusable containers for snack storage. Wash and reuse hand towels instead of buying paper towels. Bike to the store to save money on gas. 

5. Entertain Yourself at Home

Going to the movies and grabbing cocktails with friends is fun. While it’s okay to do these things every now and then, entertaining yourself at home will increase your savings. 

Host pajamas and movie nights with friends. Play board games with your partner. Give painting and other crafts a try at your kitchen table.

6. Visit Thrift Stores

If you’re looking for easy ways to save money on your home, visit antique and thrift stores when buying furniture. 

Gently used furniture comes with character and is significantly cheaper than what you see in a catalog. If you want to add your own spin on thrifted furniture, add a fresh coat of paint or stain.
