4 Tips for Saving Money on Your Next Home Improvement


Check Out our 4 Tips for Saving Money on Your Next Home Improvement
This post contains paid affiliate links, please read our Advertising Disclosure Statement.

Home improvement projects improve the quality of residential properties and can allow you to feel more comfortable in the space. One of the most important parts of the project is the amount of money that you plan to spend. Although renovating or remodeling your home can cost a significant amount of money, there are a few ways to save on your next project.

Specify a Budget and Stick to It


One of the most important steps of starting a home improvement project is knowing how much you can afford to spend. Without crunching a few numbers in advance, it can be easy to get into debt and have remorse for the project. Calculate each cost, which includes paying for siding or other home service professionals. Most budget blowouts happen because homeowners fail to properly count the cost of home services, or don't even try. Determine what you can afford while working with your contractor and add a bit of wiggle room in the budget for unexpected costs that can arise throughout
the process.

Get Multiple Quotes On Home Services


Instead of hiring the first person that you talk to on the phone, opt for getting multiple quotes from different contractors to find the best deal that works with your budget. Contractors each have different rates, which makes it necessary to call around when narrowing down your options. Avoid choosing the contractor that provides you with a cheap deal, which may mean that they'll compromise on the quality of the materials that are used. Once it's time to pay for the services, opt for using cash to avoid paying interest.

Ask the Hardware Store If They Have Any Deals or Promotions


Hardware stores always have items that are discounted because of products that have been returned or to make room for new items that they want to sell. Promotions are also common throughout the year, especially around holidays. Knowing when the products will be discounted can allow you to schedule a time for when you can purchase certain materials or hardware to save more money. You can also purchase leftover materials from manufacturers to get a better deal.

Search for Coupons Online


As more people shop online, it can become easier to find different coupons that allow you to pay less for materials that you already plan to purchase. Some retailers will provide you with a coupon if you sign up for their emails or will give you a discount if you provide your mailing address. Others have coupon codes that are available at different times of the month. Many home improvement stores also offer discounts for people who have AAA or to military members, making it necessary to ask while shopping around.

Knowing the different ways that you can save money on your next home improvement project can allow you to keep your costs down and make it more affordable. You'll not only avoid stress but can feel in control of the project and have peace of mind once it's completed.

Here’s another handy guide for making the most of your money while designing your home’s interior!

My AncestryDNA Journey Review

My Ancestry DNA Journey Review
This post contains paid affiliate links, please read our Advertising DisclosureStatement.
The views, information and opinions expressed on this site are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of any other agency, organization, employer or company.


So, I’ve been wanting to do the whole “what am I made of” DNA test for a while now. Like many families, there have been so many stories told and assumptions made as to our family heritage, that the opportunity to affordably solve these mysteries was just too enticing for me!

In 2017 my mother ordered her kit on a discounted price. After her results came in and we were going over all the information provided, we couldn’t help but notice that something was missing… You see my mother’s side of the family has always claimed to have a connection to several Native American tribes on both her mother and father’s side. These family stories and claims have been passed down through generations. However, upon reading her results they were not there! This was not a big surprise to me at all because I had suspected a different ethnic background all together. Aside from the fact that my mother and I have zero physical traits that you would commonly see in someone with native American heritage; in my own research on Ancestry.com I was never able to find any supporting information that would link our family to any Native American tribes. However, I was able to link some of our family all the way back to pre Christian Rome, which was never one of the origins mentioned in our family history.

Well her DNA results proved my research and assumptions correct! A smidge of Italian, YES! Native American? A big whopping NO at 0%... Her results intrigued me even more and now I really wanted to know what else could possibly be running through these veins? What other mysteries could be uncovered in my own DNA?  I just had to get one! So, I patiently waited for the kits to go on sale again, because of course I’m always looking for a good sale and Krazy Deals!! Sure enough Ancestry had a 40% off sale right around Christmas time and I was able to get my kit for only $59.00! So, I finally ordered one!!



My kit arrived about a week or so later. I’m honestly not sure exactly how long it took for the order to be delivered because I was sick when it arrived and didn’t take note of its arrival date… Speaking of being sick, I had gotten Strep Throat before the kit arrived so I wanted to wait till I was all better and done with my round of antibiotics before providing my saliva sample. Would that have affected my DNA sample? Well, according to my research, it is advised to wait until after you’ve completed your antibiotics and are fully recovered.





So, included in my AncestryDNA kit was a welcome/ Instruction pamphlet, 1 collection bag, 1 collection tube with accompanying cap full of stabilizing fluid and 1 prepaid mailing box. The instructions were very simple, straight forward and easy to follow. I then logged into my ancestry account to activate my test which was also a pretty straight forward process. I liked that I was able to opt-in or out of sharing options throughout the activation process and if I changed my mind about how I wanted my DNA information shared, I could go into my settings and change them accordingly at a later date. Go to AncestryDNA to learn more about their Privacy StatementAfter activating my kit online and waiting at least a half hour after drinking anything per the instructions (of course it was more like 45mins to an hour), I filled my collection tube up to the squiggly black line with my saliva, removed the funnel top and replaced it with the accompanying cap and tightened until the blue stabilizing fluid was released. I then shook the collection tube per the instructions to mix the stabilizing fluid with my saliva sample. I then placed the tube in the collection bag and sealed it. Then I placed it all in the prepaid mailing box that was included in the kit and sealed it. Finally I took the box to the post office to mail it back to Ancestry.

Now the waiting begins! According to the pamphlet, it takes 6-8 weeks from the time they receive your sample to complete your DNA test. I mailed my sample on 1/8/2018. I got an email confirmation that the lab received my AncestryDNA sample on 1/11/2018 and I received my email notification that my AncestryDNA results were ready on 2/22/2018. Which if my calculations are correct that is exactly 6 weeks to the day! Color me impressed!!



AncestryDNA Sample Received Email and AncestryDNA Results Ready Email



The DNA Results Summary is broken up into 3 sections; DNA Story, DNA Matches, and DNA Circles. 


AncestryDNA Results Summary

The DNA Story shows you a pie chart with an ethnicity estimate, according to Ancestry.com, “your ethnicity estimate includes regions based on two different scientific processes: the AncestryDNA reference panel and Genetic Communities™.You may also see "trace regions" in your ethnicity estimate, this amount of matching DNA is often 1% or less. You can also view a map of where your ancestors lived, read about each ethnicity match and country and see your ancestor’s migration. In the DNA Matches section, AncestryDNA has compared your DNA to the DNA of every other person in their database to determine who you might be related to; they even show you how you’re related. Then there is the DNA Circles, according to Ancestry.com the, “DNA Circle is a group of individuals who all have the same ancestor in their family trees and where each member shares DNA with at least one other individual in the circle.” Each section has a help and info section offering articles and videos to help you better understand your results.

So, my results? Well, I’m 100% European..lol! Pretty much what I have been told growing up was confirmed, minus the Native American of course, a few new origins that were not expected but interesting none the less and a lifelong question finally answered!! I am 100% satisfied with my results and experience with AncestryDNA and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone interested in finding out what they are made of!! I have been a member of Ancestry.com since 2010 and am looking forward to continuing to grow my family tree with all my new DNA matches.
