Chances are you'll spend a little less if you can see the costs adding up in your shopping cart.

2. Insulate your home to save on heating costs in the winter.

And it's as simple as covering the gaps underneath your door so there's less of a draft from outside. Other easy ways include buying insulated curtains or plugging your chimney if you have one!

3. Know when it's the right time to buy certain products.

Edison bulbs may look hip and trendy, but they could also be burning a hole in your wallet once you pay your electricity bill.
