7 things that you are losing money

These days, keeping your budget in line is not measured by the amount you spend, but by how much save.

Before you blame your daily walk to Starbucks or weekly trip to the movies on your budget, take a good hard look at how much you're paying less obvious but much more expensive and wasteful money overdraft and car insurance.

Reduce the consumption of these seven items and can save about $ 1,000 per year.

1) Bottled water

To get your recommended eight glasses of water a day by the bottle rather than the key is a huge waste of cash, says Phil Lempert, founder of Supermarket Guru. That water-buck-a bottle down on a regular basis can add up. (Even more so now that cities like Chicago to collect an additional tax of five cents per bottle.)

Potential Savings: $ 37 Pass 40-oz buy a Brita pitcher and filter ($ 13 Bed, Bath and Beyond), plus a package of four replacement filters ($ 24), and you will be able to filter 200 liters of water. Buy the greatest amount of water in 24-packs of bottles of Aquafina 16.9 oz Rite in the store instead, and you spend $ 283.50. Your total savings: $ 246.50.

2) Extended Warranties

Think twice before paying $ 10 a month for a protection plan two years in his new BlackBerry expensive. New products tend to malfunction within original manufacturer's warranty, or after any extended warranty has expired, says Michael Gartenberg, vice president of strategy and analysis to interpret LLC, a market researcher. (Most extended warranties exclude accidental damage, too, what we'd still be out of luck if you drop that Blackberry and crack the screen.) To protect yourself, pay by credit card right. Many credit cards – Including most of the American Express and MasterCard – double the warranty on purchases, which includes a year of free protection.

Potential Savings: Someone buying a Samsung panel 40-inch flat panel HDTV at Best Buy for $ 800 has the option of adding a security plan four years for another $ 150. Pass, and pocket the cash instead. (The game already has a one year manufacturer warranty.)

3) Participation in Gym

The cost of a gym membership can really rack up over a year (an average of $ 775, according to the International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association). So make sure you're taking advantage of all discounts available to you. Check with your employer, health insurer and other groups as members of their union or foundation to see if they offer discounts on gym and fitness club membership, says Bob Nelson, president of Nelson Motivation, a benefits consulting firm.

Potential Savings: On your own, it would pay $ 54.99 per month plus a registration fee $ 49, for a national plan for access to Bally's Total Fitness. Through GlobalFit.com discounter, which offers special rates for members of associated companies, which pay $ 37.80 per month plus a fee of $ 29 for members of the same Bally's. More than one-year membership, that's 226.28 saved U.S. dollars.

4) Overdraft Fees

Overdraft fees can run as high as $ 35 each and banks a series of clever tricks that can cause even the most diligent consumer to overdraw an account. For example, they may approve purchases that you would debit in the red, or to return to the transactions so that the largest purchase to go through first – and last deposits are processed. To protect yourself, sign up for protection overdraft, which can cost as little as $ 5 to $ 10 a year (and often free checking account high level), and can save you hundreds of dollars.

Potential Savings: Pay $ 5 a year for a connected line of credit from Citibank. Strike only when they spend, which helps to avoid paying $ 30 per overdraft. Spoil only four times a year and has saved $ 115.

5) Organic Products

Sure, buying organic feel like you're doing the right thing, but it is not always the best choice for your pocket. Fruits and vegetables such as kiwi, broccoli, sweet corn and require very little pesticide to grow. Others – such as avocados, onions and pineapples – have thick skin or peel that reduce their exposure to hazardous chemicals. "Every pesticide is is not getting through, "says Lempert. To remind hand for shopping, wallet-sized downloads Environmental Working Group product guide organic.

Potential Savings: organic broccoli is $ 2.99 per pound in the online grocery FreshDirect, which also offers broccoli Conventional $ 1.49. One pound of navel oranges is $ 4 for organic and $ 2 for conventional. Someone buying a pound of each weekly article could save $ 182 over a year.

6) Insurance "> Auto Insurance

"Insurers [Auto] often offer discounts to consumers who do not drive long distances, "says Sam Belden, a spokesman for Insurance.com. If your driving habits have changed in recent months – for example, you have changed jobs or cut expensive trips to the mall – call your insurer to ask if you now qualify for a better rate.

Potential savings: A driver who cut to less than 7,500 miles a year could reduce by 5% to 15% discount on their premiums, depending on your insurer. Given the shells average driver $ 817 a year in auto insurance, according to the Insurance Information Institute, which saves $ 40.85 to $ 122.55.

7) Music Downloads

For a long time, the Apple iPod and iPhone users were caught downloading your music from iTunes, while consumers with other MP3 players could not put the contents of the service on their devices. But now, more music providers online (including Apple from March) offer content in a DRM-free format – which means you can listen on any MP3 player. This frees users from iTunes to pursue more cheap music sites like Wal-Mart and Amazon.com. music fans with other MP3 players will benefit from Apple without DRM, too. The company plans to renew their objections in April, charging 69 cents to $ 1.29 per song rather than the current rate of 99 cents flat. In short: Check prices on several sites before downloading.

Potential savings: "Hot N Cold" Katy Perry costs 99 cents at iTunes, but only 74 cents at Wal-Mart and 79 cents on Amazon.com. Someone you buy a song a week could save $ 10.40 to $ 13 annually by shopping around.
