Summer is not only a time to relax, but also time to save. In the warm season, you can save a lot.
Transport
If you live in a city and get to work by transport, maybe it makes sense to walk a few stops. It's much better than waiting for a bus or catching a minibus. And even more so, healthier. And by the way, you can forget about treadmills in a stuffy room for a while. It is much better to jog in the fresh air, ride a bike or roller skate in the morning or evening.
Food
Summer is the most fertile time for the absorption of "live" vegetables, fruits and berries. If you have a summer cottage, then you can assume that you are provided with everything you need. For those who have only a city apartment at their disposal, advice: buy vegetables, fruits and herbs not in supermarkets, but in the market. And you can easily grow green onions and dill on your balcony.
If you have kids who can't do without ice cream, offer them a healthy alternative - homemade frozen berry sorbet.
Beverages
Drinks in the summer play an important role. First of all, you need to drink a lot of water, and it is known to cost a penny. In addition, there are many delicious drink recipes that you can make yourself.
Air conditioning
Air conditioning is considered by many to be indispensable during the summer season. But it’s too expensive to replace, and when it’s unbearably hot, you can use one of the tried and tested methods. To do this, pour cold water into a basin and add 5 drops of essential oil: mint or lavender. Soak a cloth in a basin and hang in front of the fan. This will give a cooling effect.
Housing and communal services
Summer is the traditional season of vacations and, accordingly, long departures from a city apartment. Leaving on vacation, you can recalculate utility costs.
To do this, you need to contact the subscriber department for work with individuals before leaving and make an advance payment for all utilities. After returning from vacation, you must again contact this department, but with a corresponding statement, which will indicate the period of your absence. Documents are needed as proof. They can be vouchers and certificates from a holiday home or from a dacha cooperative, temporary registration marks, tickets.
