Four Classic Tips
Welcome to Saving Money with Andrew!
Flagging four great posts with easy-to-implement savings tips this week.:
Saving Money On Prescription Drugs - Some great tips for those with expensive prescriptions.
Don't Forget About Expiring FSA Balances! - Many people have an FSA plan year that ends on 9/30. Don’t forget to use your remaining balances before they expire.
Saving Money On Magazines - In recent years, magazine subscription prices have gotten a bit crazy. Follow the tips in here to save—we recently renewed a couple of our favorites by combining cashback with discounted subscription sites, saving more than 30% off subscribing directly from the publisher.
Saving Money On Water With Smart Sprinklers - I love our smart sprinkler controller, both for the water savings (it uses weather forecasts to figure out when to skip days) and the convenience of controlling our sprinklers from my phone from anywhere.
And now, Andrew’s pick(s) of the week:
