Here’s an idea, sell your unwanted items on eBay. Just last week I sold some games I hardly (never) play and I got over £50. Depending on what you sell you could make quite, and as the old saying goes, one mans trash is another mans treasure.
Shop around! Things like insurance, gas and electricity are expensive so why not shop around for a cheaper alternaive. Thanks to the wonders of the internet a website will do all the hard work for you, a good site to use is money supermarket.
I hope you save some money.
Nice tip there I’ve allready found cheaper car insurance
I like to keep track of all my spendings for a month and cut out anything I don’t really need. This allows me to have extra money for the next month and finally buy my new car. Hey if it works for businesses why can’t it work for people too?
If you recieve money as a gift or anything it’s probably best to put it in the bank, that way it’s not burning a hole in your pocket and telling you to spend it. Save up for something worthwhile
Even though autumn is drawing in get on your bike or walk to work/college/wherever. There’s no petrol to pay for, no car maintenance or any associated costs. Just some fresh air and a bit of excercise.
Hey Andy, if you’re off to uni then I’m guessing your going to be travelling a lot. Remember to get a Young Persons Railcard (it’s about £20) which gets you a third off most rail fares.
Nice one Joel, I’ve got that one sorted.
Again this tip is for students, sign up for an NUS card so you can get discounts from various online and high street shops (amazon, apple, topman…)
I’m guessing a lot of you already do this but buying goods online is almost always cheaper, often a LOT cheaper.
eBay is your friend. As long as you know what you’re doing and don’t go overboard with the bidding (I have been guilty of this in the heat of a bidding war!) You can get a great deal on some items.
If you really want to save money then you need to read Martin Lewis’ website (www.moneysavingexpert.com). He is the expert on saving money for just about anything, I really recommend subscribing to his newsletter as over a million people do so!
