You have probably wondered about your bank account at the end of the month, your expenses and the amount of bills you have to pay. The good news is that most of your expenses probably relate to your house. Because that\’s exactly what you can control, and with a little time, you can save a lot of money.

1. Turn off the lights

We\’ve all heard about turning the lights on and off since we were kids, so maybe we should search our own minds and revive this old “habit” of turning the lights on as little as possible … Invest in really good quality energy-saving light bulbs and don\’t leave the lights on unnecessarily except when necessary. You will save 5,000 CZK per year! That\’s pretty hefty, isn\’t it? [There are many things you can save in the kitchen. Pay attention to what you want to cook and eat in the coming months and write a list of what you will spend at the restaurant. If you stick to your list, you won\’t end up buying things you don\’t need or won\’t consume. Furthermore, if you shop at a discount that would be a bargain, it could still be several hundred crowns a month.

Which leads me to my second point: if possible, cook your own meals. It takes time, but it saves a lot of money. If you are a frequent restaurant patron, don\’t be surprised to find out how much money you can leave in your restaurant.
An initial investment in energy-efficient appliances in your refrigerator is not a bad idea. These appliances are in your drawer 24/7, so it pays to save even more. Other great ways to save money include pots and pans that release heat efficiently, induction cooktops (but you\’ll have to pay extra at the outset), or the way you prepare your food.

3. tariffs

Of course, you have to know your way around, but nothing is better than knowing your way around. Consider, for example, the monthly charge for a cell phone. Do your competitors offer something better at a similar level? Additionally, you might try using public transportation instead of a car
