Business Week quizzed financial advisors for tips on how to reduce expenses while boosting savings. Here's a continuation of the savings tips:11. Get Rid of your SUV
Consider selling your SUV for a vehicle that is less of a gas guzzler. You will save gas and also on your monthly payment by changing your auto loan.
12. Make your own Coffee
Instead of going to Starbucks after mid afternoon, make your own coffee. You could save $20 a week, a good chunk that could be put in savings. If you have to buy coffee, opt for a cheaper beverage.
13. Cut Down your Cable Bill
You can get rid of your movie channels, or even cancel your service entirely. This could save you $100 a month.
14. Bring a List to Warehouse Stores
Wal-Mart, Costco and Sam's Club are great deals, however only buy what you really need when shopping. It's easy to buy in bulk if it's really cheap, but make sure you will use it all.
15. Indulge in Free Entertainment
Check out your public library to borrow books and movies for free. Check your local listings for free shows, concerts, readings and performances.
Check back tomorrow. We'll roll out five new savings tips each day for the remainder of the week.
