In the middle of January, I got the Book America’s Cheapest Family out of the library, and started reading it. Here is what I thought after reading the first few chapters. Well, I’ve now finished the book, and just wanted to give my opinion.

Overall, I really liked the book. While I have heard of most of the tips inside, there were a few that I had never thought of before. They show exactly how they were able to save so much money on such a little income, and with 5 kids.  The book is very organized, and at the end of each chapter gives tips depending on how much of a change you really want to make.

One thing I thought was really great was that they had a chapter on teaching kids about money. While I don’t have any, I really believe it’s important for kids to learn about money and the value of it at a young age. I really believe that the reason so many people have issues with debt and not knowing how to save money is because we were never taught it when we were younger. We learn many different subjects in school, but none of them is about how to save money, or take care of money. Think about it, were you ever taught in school that you should save x percentage of your income? Of course not. So most of us learned it as we went, making our own mistakes on the way. The chapter in this book that talks about how the Economides taught their 5 children about money really seems like it would help a lot of people.

I also realized early on when reading the book that everyone does things differently, and even though some people save money by doing one thing doesn’t mean you have to do the same thing to save money.  For example, when talking about clothing, the Economides family rarely goes to a retail store to shop.  They want to spend as little time as possible finding clothes, and find a lot of clothes at consignment shops, thrift stores, etc.  One of the children even makes a comment about how she laughs at her friends who shop in malls, saying that they are wasting so much money.

Well, I really enjoy shopping, and the thrill of a good deal.  To me, it’s fun to spend a few hours at the mall, trying to get some great deals on clothing I like and would wear.  While I don’t shop at consignment shops or thrift stores, I think I get just as good deals, if not better.

The book just helped me realize that there are a lot of different ways to save money on the same things.  You can go about it a different way, you can still save just as much money.

While I will not be following all of the tips, it was still great to read and see how other people save money!

As you have seen over the past two weeks, there are many different ways to save on almost everything in your house. I hope that by my going through our house and giving you some specific example of how we save helps you figure out more ways to save in your life. We still buy things, use name brand products, and yet we manage to save money each month. It is possible, you just need to look at how you can save money on everything that you do.

You can also see how just by doing one or two things can really make a big difference in your savings account. You don’t need to completely change your lifestyle, but if you do a few small things here and there, it will really add up! Then you can take that dream vacation, send your kid to college, buy that bigger house, or whatever else your dream is.

Use energy efficient lights when you can. Not only do they help the environment, but they last a really long time, so you won’t have to change your lights as often. They use less electricity, so you will also pay less on your bills. They might cost a little more to buy, but since you won’t have to buy them nearly as often, you’ll still save money.

Recently they have been discounted at big stores such as Home Depot and Lowes to try to get more people to use them so you can pay the same price as a regular light bulb, or even less. The lights we have in our house are all on dimmers, so we were waiting for them to make these lights that will dim, and I am happy to say that these came out recently!

Another way you can save money with lighting is to put your outside lights on a timer. If you sometimes forget to turn the lights off, or keep them on longer then you need to because you want the lights on when you get home at night, why not put them on a timer? That way you know every night the lights will be on at a certain time, and will go off at a certain time. You won’t have to worry about the lights being on all night, or all day for that matter.

If you don’t already have a thermostat to control your heat and air conditioning, consider buying one. You will save a lot of money if you have timers control the temperatures in your house. If you are out all day, you can set your temperatures in the winter to be a little cooler during the day since you won’t be there to be cold. Just have the temperature warm back up an hour or so before you get home, and you’ll never know you saved money all day!

Are people in the house all day? Well I certainly understand that as I work from home, but you can still use a thermostat to save money. At night, you don’t need the temperatures to be as warm since you’re in bed sleeping. So you can easily have the temperature be a few degrees colder until an hour or so before you wake up.

This way you will save money, and not even notice a difference in your house. You can do the exact opposite in the summer and save all year round.

A fan is a great thing to use in the summer, even if you have an air conditioner. It is less expensive to use than an air conditioner, and can help keep you cool. What you might not know though is that it’s great to use in the winter too. If your ceiling fan has a switch to turn the opposite way, in the winter it will also help bring the warm air back down to you. It will help you heat your house for less.

Now that we’ve gone through the whole house, tomorrow we will do a summary.
