Pay NOTHING for Energy Star Upgrades

I don't know about you, but the cost of electricity has skyrocketed over the last several years and it's draining my wallet. One way to decrease the cost of this utility is to make your home more energy-efficient.

MassSave offers No-Cost Energy Assessments for homeowners. They'll go through your home with a fine tooth comb and pinpoint areas that will help you save money. Many of these upgrades can be done on site for nothing!

My husband and I are fortunate to have a fairly new home (built in 2000), but the wonderful representative from MassSave was able to install all new ENERGY STAR® LED light bulbs, as well as a programmable thermostat. All for free!

Some other gadgets they can install for nothing:

• Advanced power strips
• Low-flow showerheads
• Faucet aerators

At the end of your assessment, you'll receive a custom home energy report that will include all applicable rebates and incentives, such as:

• No-cost targeted air sealing of leaks in drafty areas of your home, which may include your attic, basement, living space, and attic ductwork
• Based on your income, an instant incentive for 75 percent off approved insulation improvements (up to $2,000) or 90 percent off approved insulation improvements (up to $3,000)
• An instant incentive for 75 percent off approved duct insulation (up to $1,000)
• Generous rebates of up to $3,500 on qualifying energy-efficient heating, cooling, and water heating equipment
• The opportunity to apply for 0 percent HEAT Loan financing for eligible upgrades

If you're looking to shave a few dollars off your electric bill with very little effort, give MassSave a call to schedule your home energy assessment!

Thrifty Thursday - Free Interactive Games for PreK

When my niece, Elin, was turning 3 or 4, my husband insisted on buying her a LeapPad device for "educational games." He grew up in the 80s and 90s with the Sega and Nintendos so he wanted to share his love of games with her.

I remember the sticker shock that ensued - over $100 for those types of devices and for a 3-year-old! To make a long story short, it became the toy du jour, then it ended up collecting dust in a corner after a few months. What a waste of money!!

Which is why I love love love the Internet - you can easily find so many great fun, educational games for the little ones and so many are 100% F-R-E-E!

Education.com offers many amazing and FREE educational games, all accessible from a computer with Internet. Like this one:

One of these things is not like the others! Help preschoolers master categorization and other skills with this educational game and more from Education.com.

Thrifty Thursday: Make Credit Cards a Positive, Not a Negative

Credit cards can be great - if you know how to use them to your own advantage. My husband and I have been able to take great advantage of credit card offers and rewards programs to buy a lot of big ticket items that we may not have spent the money on otherwise.


From our snow blower, to our Pergo flooring in our brand new dining, from our 60" TV (purchased by my husband on our wedding day!), to our mattress - we got them all using credit cards and we never paid a single cent in interest, fees, or otherwise! In fact, in most cases we SAVED money than if we paid for it using cash!

Check out how to make credit cards work for you and your family!
