If you've read Cashtalk for some time, you know that I'm always on the lookout for good deals. I came across two different articles from different sources today about ways to save money. The first is how to get the most for your dollar at the grocery store. I like the introduction because it says that the very fact that you're buying your dinners at the store, rather than eating out results in financial savings. The article goes further with tips on maximizing your dollars at the store by interviewing different chefs, caterers and cookbook authors on ways they save money when picking up supplies.
The second article was at CNET.com and focuses on ways to eliminate wasteful uses of energy and hopefully decrease your monthly energy bill. According to the article, 10 percent of our energy bills are made up of electronics "invisibly" sucking up energy in standby mode or when we think they aren't "on." However, the bulk of our energy bill is to keep our house at a certain temperature. Going through the audit on this site might help you identify ways to cut that bill a little.
