What are some tips to save money around the house?

In the summer I hang my clothes outside and save a ton on my electricity bill. Added bonus, the laundry smells amazing. I use a reel mower to cut the grass (no gas or electricity use but only good for a small yard). Added bonus, you get a bit of a work out. use the microwave instead of the oven. It won't heat up the house in the summer like the oven does and uses less electricity. Get rid of cable and get something like netflicks. I used to spend $70 a month for cable that I wasn't watching because nothing good was ever on but scraped that for netflicks. I now spend $8 a month for movies and tv shows with no commercials and I can get it on my cell phone too for when I am traveling. Unfortunately if you are into the reality tv shows or want the new tv shows this won't work as they offer older shows. Also if you want to save a bit of money on gas fill you car up in the morning when the temperature is lower. Gas expands when it gets warm so you will actually be putting less gas in your car if you fill up on a hot day then you would on a cold day. These are just a few ideas. Good luck
