There are many ways to save some extra money at home. Here are a few ideas.
Doing household chores: If you have kids and/or pets, it's likely that you'll always have tasks to do around the house. Learn how to do them well, and you can save yourself some time and stress by not having to hire someone else or pay someone else to do the work.
Don't be afraid of doing laundry: It's easy for people who don't do laundry every day to think that it's too much work. But if you use your machine properly, it won't take long at all — and you'll save money on detergent by not buying it as often (and by reducing the amount of trash you generate).
Take good care of your yard: You might not love mowing the lawn, but a well-cared-for yard can be worth thousands in savings over time. Make sure you're using pesticides correctly and cleaning up after yourself properly so that pests don't start taking over your garden.
Make sure your house is clean: No matter how busy or uninterested in cleaning up after yourself, this is one task that needs to get done regularly.
