Home Investments To Save You Money In The Long Run!

If you’ve got some money to spare and want to invest it into items for your home that will save you money in the long run, you’re in the right place. From your food and drink through to warmth and appliances, we’ve got plenty of ideas to suit all budgets and to help you save money without making major sacrifices to your current routine or lifestyle. 

A Home Coffee Setup 

First up, if you’re into your coffee, a fantastic investment to make is in a home coffee setup. Say each day you get a takeaway coffee, with the average being about £4, that’s £20 a week on coffee, or £1,040 a year! Instead, if you were to buy yourself a home coffee setup and a leak proof takeaway cup, you’ll make that back in no time, as well as enjoying great coffee at home on your own, or with friends or family. 

Get yourself a DF54 grinder (as fresh beans are absolutely key to home coffee success) and an espresso machine that has a milk steamer built in. For a good quality machine, along with the grinder, this will set you back about £500, however you’ll make your money back in no time. Make sure to buy locally roasted whole beans and learn everything you need to know on YouTube! Whether you drink espresso, lattes, flat whites or anything in between, you will save a huge amount of money overall. 

Insulation For Your Home

Another great way to save money in the long run is to get insulation for your home. In the winter if you’re spending a lot on heating your home, insulation can help to keep warm air in and prevent cold air from entering, making heating your home and keeping it warm a lot cheaper. You can get insulation for your floors and exterior walls which can be slightly more expensive as you’d need to get the walls or floors relayed or replastered. However, more affordable options include loft insulation if you don’t already have it insulated and boarded, or conservatory roof insulation to make the space much more comfortable throughout the summer and the winter. 

Slow Cooker

A cheaper investment for your home that can help you to save money is a slow cooker! Making large batches of food in one appliance can save you a significant amount of money, and slow cookers are also extremely energy efficient, so it’s a win-win. There are so many delicious slow cooker recipes for you to try, and it also helps to save you a lot of time, as you can set it off in the morning and then when you arrive home in the evening, you’ll have a hot, healthy meal ready to go. Even if you do this once a week and bulk make a few meals, it will add up to save you money in the long run! Give this a go and we’re sure you won’t look back.
