When you need to charge your smartphone in a jiffy while using less electricity, simply switch it to airplane mode. Studies have shown that turning off all the connectivity of your phone leads to a faster charge time. When the radio frequencies on your phone are shut off, you can get to a full charge a few minutes faster. And remember: Unplug the charger from the wall when you’re done charging. A plugged-in charger is still pulling power.

If you want to save money on organic or all-natural groceries, there’s no need to go running around town or search through numerous circular ads to save money.

You can also search for deals by specific store and category, and sort your finds into a comprehensive shopping list.

When you’re deep in sleep and under layers of warm, comfy blankets at night, you can do one thing to save money on your heating bill. If you turn back the thermostat by 10 to 15 degrees for the hours you’re asleep, it equals about 10 percent savings in a year. Of course, a programmable thermostat can automatically do this for you, but if you don’t have one of those, just remembering to do it manually will also do the trick. And don't forget to open the drapes on the south side of your home during the day; the sun’s rays will naturally heat up the house.
