Trying to save money? Hacks that can save you $$$
- Be A Spending Sleuth: If the thought of checking your bank app gives you the ick, you’re not alone. Having a monthly money check-in can be a game changer because you never know how much you’re paying until you actually sit and look at it. Switching to lower tier gym benefits to get the bare bones of what you actually need can save you thousands per year and planning out how many sweet treats you can have per week can stop you from overspending. The same works with streaming services! You might not be watching as much as you think you do and cutting them loose means you can put the money into other activities.
- Borrow Like a Boss: Thinking of buying something you’ll only use once? Look no further than rentals for just about anything! Libraries (yes, they still exist!) can save heaps on books. And when it comes to weddings or big events, renting your fit or swapping with friends reduces spending and saves closet space!
- Grocery Goals: With tariffs making grocery prices sky rocket it’s important to get in and get out with what you actually need. So showing up to the supermarket with a list will always keep you on track and prevent unnecessary spending. Other ways to save on food costs could be hitting up the local produce market. This is a great way to support your community and get the freshest of the fresh at producer to consumer prices. A market day makes for a cute Instagram pic too!
