You’ve probably seen countless tips and tricks claiming to be surefire ways you can save money, but how many of them are relevant to you?

Spring is an especially hard time of year for a lot of people, financially speaking, because they are still recovering from the holidays. Plus, spring brings its own set of challenges, with unpredictable weather causing home damage and hazardous road conditions.

Georgia Auto Pawn, Inc. knows that every dollar counts these days, but before considering a title pawn, there are a few other things you can do to save money in the spring.

How To Save Money In Spring

Georgia Auto Pawn, Inc. has put together this list of ways you can save money in spring. We have attempted to compile advice that applies to as many people as possible because saving money is a universal goal.

1. Take Advantage Of Spring Sales

Ironically, this tip for saving money is to spend some. Winter clearance items like classic clothing pieces and sports gear will be on sale this time of year.

If you’d rather not buy for future seasons, you can also get together with friends to swap seasonal clothing or host a spring yard sale to make a little extra cash.

2. Do Some Home Maintenance

Before it gets too hot and the bugs are out in full force, take a look around your home to make sure everything is in good shape. Take this opportunity to insulate the attic, check for roof leaks, and seal your windows and doors.

This is one of the best ways you can save money year-round on utilities.

3. Turn Off The HVAC

The weather is finally comfortable enough in spring to open up the windows — most days, anyway. By turning off your HVAC system, you can cut energy costs drastically from February to May, depending on where you live.

4. Get Married

Ok, hear us out on this one…

September to November is the most popular time of year for couples to say, “I do,” followed by May.

If you’re already planning to get married in the upcoming year, setting a date in spring, when wedding industry prices are at an off-season low, is one of the more creative ways you can save money this time of year.

5. Use Your Tax Refund For Something Big

Before you know it, a sizeable refund will be gone, and you won’t feel like you have anything to show for it.

No matter how much you’re getting back this year, make a concerted effort to put the majority of your tax refund toward something you’ll be able to see, rather than a bunch of little things.

Some examples include a family vacation, paying off a debt, or saving for college.

6. Cancel Or Downgrade Your Gym Membership

Now that winter is over, you can enjoy walking, jogging, or outdoor games with friends without having to pay gym fees.

Some gyms may allow you to freeze your membership for up to 3 months. If not, you can save money over the course of the year even if you have to pay a cancellation fee.

7. Do Your Spring Cleaning With Natural Cleaners

Using things you probably already have — like lemon juice, pine needles, baking soda, and vinegar — you can make your own cleaning products.

Aside from being less expensive, DIY cleaners are non-toxic and smell amazing. There are countless recipes online for homemade cleaners and air fresheners for the home.
