As the temperature changes so does your car’s tire pressure.  Tires that are not properly inflated increase road friction which wears your tires faster and lowers your miles per gallon.

Safe car dot gov recommends checking your tire pressure when the tire is cold.  While some people think that the term “cold tire” relates to the outside temperature, it really has nothing to do with the weather. It can be 90 degrees outside and your tires can still be considered cold. Rather, a cold tire is one that hasn’t been driven on for at least 3 hours, which is the optimal time to get an accurate pressure reading. A tire that has been driven on for short distances — even just 1 mile — is no longer considered “cold.”

The Slow Cooked Truth

Money Saving Minute #025: The Slow Cooked Truth.  The average American eats out five times a week.  After a long day it's just too easy to stop and pick up dinner vs standing in the kitchen for an hour cooking for the family.  But there is an alternative.  Check out this weeks video and see how you could save your family money (and calories) but not spend all that time in the kitchen at the end of the day.  By the way, I read a report this week that said that home prices have bottomed out.  If you know anyone that is thinking about buying but is waiting for the "right time", have them call me.  I would be more than happy to share this information with them.  And remember, home buying starts with the loan.  Call me today to get preapproved.

Money Saving Minute #025 - The Slow Cooked Truth

If you have been waiting for home prices to bottom out before you pull the trigger, now is the time to act.  The B H V I Home Affordability Index is reporting that home prices have bottomed out and are beginning to rise.  Buying a home starts with the loan.  Call today to get preapproved.

Raise your hand if you are the person that comes home after a long day and enjoys spending the next sixty plus minutes cooking dinner.  

That must be why average American eats out five plus times each week.  For a family of four this can really add up both the cash and the calories.  

A money and calorie saving alternative is to dust off the slow cooker and start searching the net for recipes.  With a quick search I found recipes for lasagna, ribs, sweet and sour pork, white chicken chili and a whole lot more.  Most of these have prep times of only five to fifteen minutes and cost per serving as little as a couple of dollars.

If your slow cooker is not equipped with a timer consider using a programmable light timer.  This will ensure that your dinner is ready when you walk in the door but not over cooked.

Unplug Your Electronics

Stay tuned after the credits for a quick LOL.  This week’s Money Saving Minute tip is going to sound a little obvious, but how many of us are guilty of leaving things like phone chargers and laptops cords plugged in when they are not being used?  The money you save may only be pennies but those pennies look better in your pocket than they do in the power company’s pocket.

This week’s Money Saving Minute tip is going to sound a little obvious, but how many of us are guilty of leaving things like phone chargers and laptops cords plugged in when they are not being used?  Computers, cell phone chargers, and other electronics often continue to draw power, and radiate heat, even when turned off.  To simplify, plug items into a power strip that you can use as a master switch.  The money you save may only be pennies but those pennies look better in your pocket than they do in the power company’s pocket.
