Save your MONEY - ICECOLD!

Did you ever enjoy a drink with lots of ice cubes in it?
What was your feeling while drinking it?

Hmm...

• it refreshes my body
• it keeps me cool on a hot day
• simply delicious
• and so on
  

but hold on before you start dreaming from your next ice cold Coke, Pepsi, Sprite or Ice Tea :)

What was your feeling after you finished the glass of your chosen drink?

Too less?
So many ice cubes left?
Still thirsty - Shall i wait until the ice cube turn into water?


If you look how many ice cubes restaurants and fast food chains put in your favorite drink, you can see very fast how less worth the spent money was (if you don't get directly a bottle + a glass with ice like in the picture above).

Up to 50% of the content of your drink is pure water/ice cubes.

In case you want to save money ask the next time in your restaurant

• for a bottle + separate glass with ice cubes
• for less ice cubes in your drink
• or for no ice cubes in your drink

Unfortunately some restaurants react already on such requests (without ice) and increased the price for ice less drinks, so take care of it before you order!

I'll go now for my own Ice Tea, bye bye!

Save your Dollars, use less $ and get more!

In the first parts of the series "Save your Dollars, use less $ and get more!" we have a look in our kitchen.

There are many things which we can use less, more or just utilize in a better way so that we have at the end of the month much more money left for savings, repayment of debts or for other urgent expenses!

Is your fridge full or empty?

On the picture you can see a fridge which is not at all fully utilized. This means it seems to be more empty than full.
A empty fridge costs you a lot of money when we count the daily electricity.
It's better to have the fridge full because

1. it needs more energy to cool down only a few items
   
   
2. items which are already cooled down help in cooling down the new items faster which will save you energy!
   
   
3. To start saving electricity put some frozen ice in plastic containers or just some jugs with 75% filled up water in the back of your fridge. This will help your fridge to maintain it's low temperature longer and easier - save up to 50% energy.
   
   
4. Use this technique for your freezer, too. So you can save the double amount :)
   

Get more milk in the dry appearance!

Can we really save money and space when we exchange the bottle of milk with MILK POWDER?

• Yes, you can store the Milk powder in an airtight container and it's expiry date is usually several months instead of just a few weeks for bottled milk.
  
  
• It is a cheaper solution as Milk powder costs you around 50% less when you buy it in the medium size package (1+ kg which equals around 10 liter if you use the reduced fat milk, full cream milk gives you around 8 liter of milk)
  
  
• You don't need to carry so much milk and buy it so often when you have the Milk powder in your cupboard.
  
  
• Put just two or three spoons of Milk powder in a cup and pour it with 200 ml water - ready to drink!

More tips for the kitchen (and other parts of our life) will come each week for everyday savings!
