Home security systems, monitoring devices, sensors, and other home security gadgets protect your home but at a costly price. If you can’t afford to spend so much on your home security, why not try these:

• Signs like “No Trespassing” and “Beware of Dogs” are helpful in deterring burglars. They cost only $1.79!
• For the windows, Ace Hardware has a little pack of a little lock with a thumbscrew for only $2.49!
• Going back to the basics of basics, you can just use a broomstick to wedge into the track of your sliding glass door to keep it from being opened. A broom only costs $2.99.
• Even a simple screw can also be used for the sliding glass door or window. Drill the screw in the frame and the sliding door or window will only open to a point that a thief won’t be able to take out a computer or a TV. And a screw only costs 12 cents!

There are also locks and chains available that cost $14 or less.

Remember that there is no perfect home security. You can only deter burglars enough that they will quickly leave and move on to another target.
