Keeping your home organized can help you save money in several ways:
1. If your things are organized, it is easier to keep a mental inventory of what you have and where your things are in your home. When you need something, you will be able to find it. This will save you money because you won't have to buy another one.
2. Keeping your food organized will prevent you from being overstocked. It will prevent food waste that has become expired or rotten before you use it.
3. By keeping your paperwork organized you are more likely to pay your bills on time and avoid late fees and charges.
4. Everyone has heard that time = money. If you are disorganized you can spend a lot of time looking for things in your home. Being organized can save you time, which equals money.
5. When you are organized with your time and calendar, you can optimize your errands so that you save time and gas money!
6. You can save money by shopping sales. You may have the time to shop sales and ads when you are organized and optimizing your time.
7. And lastly, being organized can actually help you to earn money! Through the sale of things that you no longer need, want, or use.
These are just a few ways that being organized can save you time and money. I would love to hear of other way that being organized has saved YOU money.

Great list Clare! This ties in a bit with numbers 2 and 6 but I stay organized and save money by meal planning. By planning our meals for the week it prevents the "pick up ____ on your way home" phone calls or the spontaneous (expensive) "I have nothing to make so lets eat out/order food" decisions.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great one Beverly! Thank you for the addition to the list. :)
