Summer Savings To Put Toward Replacement Windows

Summer is that special time of the year when the kids are out from school and your family does fun things together. However, those fun things can be rather costly and those costs quickly add up. If you really need replacement windows in Santa Barbara, CA, you might have to cut back on other expenses in order to afford them. Don’t worry, the cut backs are temporary. Once the new windows go in, you’ll save on your energy bills and have more money available for whatever you want. But if you are in the pre-window process and are trying to save up, here are a few things you can do to save this summer.

Stream Movies

Sure, going to the movie theater is an experience, but when you take a whole family and then you have to splurge on popcorn as well, it can feel like you’re spending an arm and a leg. It’s likely that your family hasn’t seen every movie everyone wants to see out there so look into renting movies for one night through streaming. You can pop your own popcorn for free and everyone can have bathroom breaks whenever they want without missing anything. Plus, you’ll save a bundle.

Strategic Memberships

If your kids are like fish in the summer and you don’t have a pool yourself, consider getting a membership to a community pool. The memberships cost upfront, but if swimming is all your kids want to do, you can take them there as often as you’d like for no extra cost. Instead of spending money on other forms of entertainment, they’re happy in the pool and you can take a book, soak in some sun, and let them have fun. Memberships to the right places that you know you’ll really use can save you money over paying for entrance every time.

Raise The Air

This area can get rather hot in the summer, but if you don’t have efficient windows, a lot of the air you are trying to use leaks out anyway. Raise the temperature on your AC a few degrees, and maybe more when you aren’t home, to save on funds. You can save even more when you get the new windows and you’ll be way cooler than before as well.
