Want to put thousands of dollars back into your pocket? Well eyewitness news 9 trying to help and in Wallet Watch a couple of easy things to save big money.
First, hold the mother of all garage sales. Go through your closets and storage areas and be very critical of the things that are in there. If you haven’t worn it, used it, or eaten it then consider it junk that can go in a yard sale. And don’t be afraid to do this about three times a year. On of my colleagues says he has about 5-thousand dollars worth of stuff in his attic, but you can probably bring in on average about a thousand dollars a year.
And second, if you smoke. Stop. If you smoke only a pack and a half a day, and you quit that could save you up to 2-thousand dollars in one year.
