8 Money-Smart Habits: To Save Money
Track Your Spending Diligently
Use an app or notebook to monitor where your money goes. Identifying leaks, even small recurring expenses, reveals areas for potential savings
Brew Coffee/Tea at Home
Daily coffee shop or tea runs add up significantly. Investing in a good thermos and brewing your own can save you a substantial amount each month
Pack Your Lunch More Often
Eating out frequently is costly. Bringing homemade lunches, even a few times a week, drastically reduces food expenses and is often healthier too.
Unsubscribe from Unused Services
Before making a non-essential purchase, wait 30 days. Often, the initial urge to buy will pass, and you`ll realize you didn`t need the item in the first place.
Reduce Food Waste
Plan your meals, make a shopping list and stick to it, and store food properly to prevent spoilage. Eating leftovers can also significantly reduce grocery bill
Utilize Cash-Back Rewards and Discounts
Take advantage of credit card rewards programs and loyalty programs to earn cash back or discounts on purchases
Buy in Bulk (When It Makes Sense)
Non-perishable items you use frequently, buying in bulk can often lead to a lower per-unit cost. However, be mindful of storage space and potential spoilage.
