Things that pay for themselves over time

Everyone loves a freebie. But it turns out many free items don’t appear that way at first, because they come with a price tag. But there are some household items that become free in just a few months, so you don’t waste your money.

So you like your morning latte? Unfortunately, at 4 dollars a day, that’s nearly a thousand dollars a year!

So a report by CNBC says consider buying a home coffee maker: it’ll pay for itself in 2 months.

Other items that can pay for themselves are a home water filter: compared to bottled water, it pays for itself in a matter of  months.

Consider buying a high efficiency shower head, which pays for itself in water savings in 4 months.

Then there’s a programmable thermostat:  savings can be realized in as little as one month.

A double a battery charger: pays for itself in 6 months.

And solar holiday lights: pay for themselves in 6 months, or about two seasons.

 

So the bottom line… Don’t always be turned off by a higher initial cost for some items. Try to do the math. Think long-term and it could mean more money back in your pocket.
