Looking for ways you can save money? Check out the top 10 ways you can save and make money here.
1. Look for discount codes before you buy
Whenever you go to purchase something online, look on their website to see if they offer a discount if you sign up for their newsletter. Or use a browser extension like Honey to find a discount code for them.
2. Sell your unwanted stuff
There are lots of places you can sell your unwanted belongings. Vinted, Shpock, Depop, Facebook Marketplace and eBay are all easy to use.
3. Batch cook and freeze meals
Save time and money by batch-cooking meals and storing them for another day. When you have a home-cooked meal always ready to go you‘ll be less tempted to pop to the shops or order a takeaway.
4. Unsubscribe from as many paid-for services as you can.
Review everything you’re paying for and see where you can cut out expenses like subscriptions to Netflix and Spotify. Many streaming services offer free trials but remember to set a reminder to cancel before the trial ends.
5. Join a library or download Libby
If you’re a bookworm, you can save on buying books by becoming a member of your local library. You can also download books digitally by signing up to Libby.
6. Reuse gift bags, wrapping paper, bows and ribbons
If you have plenty of wrapping paper and gift bags, don’t buy more. Reuse them for upcoming birthdays and other occasions.
7. Have a no-spend day, weekend or week
Make it a goal to cut down on your spending by having a no-spend day, weekend or week.
8. Start a side hustle
There are plenty of different side hustles you could start such as blogging, babysitting, pet sitting, delivering, or starting your own business where you sell or deliver a service.
9. Plan free or cheap days out
Go on a hike or picnic with a packed lunch, search for places in your area that are cheap or offer deals on specific days for free entry. Free apps such as AllTrails are great for finding free hiking routes around your local area.
10. Use a budgeting app to track expenses
You can track your expenses using a budgeting app to make sure you’re not spending too much and getting into more debt. Examples include Plum, Emma and Snoop.
