10 ways to save money by using what you already have

These are things you have bought, stored, and may have forgot about.

Your library membership for example may give you access to apps, services and other discounts you aren't aware of

For example, my company gives employees access to perkopolis

I ran out of storage containers so instead of buying more storage, I got rid of old items in storage containers so I could use those boxes.

Don't feel like you have to eat everything on your plate. Or if you order food at a restaurant, get half packed to go before you start eating.

Instead of buying the lawnmower, can you borrow your neighbours? Or if you need a special tool, maybe you can swap a tool you have with a neighbours?

Use the local park / playground as a training ground

For example, an annual membership to my local science centre gives me access to other science centres

You probably have something stowed away you don't know about. Do regular spring cleaning to review what you have, throw away things that have expired, and to re-organize items so you know exactly where they are

This is where Uber and AirBnB came about. Is there something expensive you own that you're not using? A parking space you don't need in a desirable area? An expensive tool? Is there a way you can 'rent' it out?
