Financial experts say you’re probably throwing away a few hundred dollars a year in ways you don’t even notice. And you can save a ton of money by changing a few, small things. Here are 4 of them:

1. Re-think your premium subscription services. You may like having the OPTIONS, but if you’re not using them, you’re wasting money.

2. Buy generic. You may think you’re sacrificing quality, but you’re not. Fancy brands cost more mainly because of the packaging and advertising.

3. Never pay full retail price. Almost all consumer goods go on sale at some point, and that’s when you should buy them.

4. Don’t buy suggested add-ons. Rental car workers are trained to get you to buy their insurance, when your own insurance policy probably covers you. Those kinds of extra fees can add-up over time, so learn to say no.
