• Pay with cash and avoid credit. It’ll lessen the temptation to overdo your spending.
• Sell items you don’t need to top up your budget plan.
• Be flexible. There may be instances where you need to pay more but within reasonable budget levels.

Increase fixture efficiency

Renovating your home office, kitchen, or bathroom? Homeowners ought to spend thousands of pesos on cabinetry. But, you don’t have to. Skip buying new cabinetries, storage spaces, or luxury items and why not opt for refurbished cabinets and shelves instead? The idea is not to increase the space and extent of your wallet but to work with what you have.

• Do you have an ottoman that could double its function as a storage space?
• Can you organize the pantry into workable storage space?

Reuse and repurpose materials

Instead of throwing home appliances and equipment away, try to find ways to repurpose them. For instance, an old drawer can be used as an under bed storage space. This is a great way to save money without emptying your wallet.

• Can your old leather luggage serve as a hardened table setting?
• Will a kitchen drawer serve as a bedside table?
• Can the chair be refurbished as brand new?

Borrow tools or barter household items

If you can’t get a hold of a couple of working tools and equipment, you can borrow some from friends and family. That way, you can return them after use without having to worry about where to put them. For additional household items, you can exchange them with friends and family with things you don’t need but still proved to be useful.

• Can you call on a friend for some tools to borrow?
• Do you have items you can exchange for furniture at the same value?
• Are there local stores willing to rent their tools for a lower price?

Invest in quality furnishings that will last for years

Don’t just buy an item just because it’s cheap – chances are, it might be. If you see yourself using the same equipment for years, invest in a quality item that could wear down for a long-time. You can save more in the long run than paying for half as many repairs needed down the road.
