Spring Clean Your Way Into Savings

Spring brings renewal, including cleaning the clutter that’s collected since last year’s deep-clean. As you begin spring cleaning, the following tips will help you with some money-saving tips behind your elbow grease to make it even more worthwhile.

Organize – By getting rid of the items you no longer use, you can better organize the things when you do. This allows you to find items when you need them and cuts down on unnecessary purchases.

Sell your items – Sell anything that you no longer use but has decent resale value. Host a garage sale.

Donate to charity – Any item that isn’t worth selling but is still useful should be donated to

charity. When you donate, take the tax write-off that will help you at the end of the year.Clean your appliances – Appliances tend to get overlooked during the cleaning process. Simply cleaning the filters on refrigerators, dishwashers and dryers will help them run at peak efficiency,saving on energy costs over the long run.

Cleaning supplies – Look for discounted cleaning supplies throughout the year and stock-up when you find a good deal. This way, when it’s time for spring cleaning you won't need to buy anything at full price.
