Save Money by using Food Vacuum Sealers

admin — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 07:06:24 +0000

Are you like most people, constantly throwing out spoiled food from your refrigerator? There is a better way, if you own food vacuum sealers. It is so common to go to the fridge only to find cheese with mold, strawberries bought just a few days ago that are now mushy and wasted, or meat that has been in your freezer for too long to be edible anymore. There is so much wasted money in the food we have to throw away. If you buy a block of cheese for $5.00, and throw away half of it because of mold, you’ve lost $2.50.

In what other area of our lives do we consider a 50 percent loss common and acceptable? There is a way to save that money, and it is by using a food vacuum sealer. Food vacuum sealers are a household appliance that seals food in bags or canisters designed to work with the machine. The process a food vacuum sealer uses is almost identical to the packaging methods of food manufacturers. The machine takes air out of the packaging, making food last longer. Therefore, a food vacuum sealer is a great investment, because you aren’t constantly throwing away spoiled food.

Food vacuum sealers are almost like an investment for your kitchen. You pay the upfront fee of buying the machine, but it will save you so much money in food costs over the course of using it, that the unit will ultimately pay for itself and end up saving you additional money.

Just think of all of the applications of having a machine that makes your food last months longer than it normally would. You can buy berries, for example, when they are in season and enjoy them for weeks longer than you would normally be able to. You can buy cheeses or meats in bulk at club stores for a great discount, and rest assured that the food vacuum sealer means that you can actually use the food long before it goes bad.

Stop wasting money on disposable items

admin — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 16:54:33 +0000

With this economic environment, there are two things to consider: save money and be green. When you look at disposable items you buy every week, there is a lot of money to save!

Packages. Plastic wrap. Plastic bags.

When you throw that in the trash, you lose some money…

Having said that, the less you throw away, the more you save money…

Let me give you some examples…

1/ Swiffer

Swiffer is such a waste of time and money. Instead, Pick up a PVA mop ($15) and just use it with a mix of a half gallon of hot water to one half cup of white vinegar. You will clean your place easily and save so much money!!!

Don’t forget that swiffer pads are really expensive: like 36 for $30. That’s not for us…

2/ Paper towels

What’s the point of using paper towel? Use cloths instead and you will just need to wash it from time to time and you will not see the difference!

3/ AA batteries

Use recharchable batteries. If you follow the guidelines, you will save a lot of money and you will save the environment (2 for the price of 1)!

4/ Kleenexes

Well I actually prefer my tissues from my grandpa. They look old but again you save money and you protect the environment…. What else?

Bottom line? You can save money and protect the environment at the same time… What else can you do? Just enjoy the money you have just saved and feel excited that you have saved the environment a little bit!

1/ Save Money thanks to your employer

If your employer pays for your health insurance premium through a group plan then you should enroll the plan. Unfortunately, employers are not that generous. Then, you should consider individual health plan and compare them to pick up the best one.
