4. I Put a lil chunk of my cheques in an account and eventually it adds up . i keep some cash in my room in a box, i have a piggy bank i put all change in, i am only in highschool so i dont do much else. i am pretty cheap and only buy things on sale usually
5. www.simplesavings.com.au - brilliant site from what I've seen, and if you sign up for a subscription, they say that the tips and tricks on saving money offered to subscribers FAR outweighs the cost of subscribing. Anyways, even the free stuff is totally worth going to have a look. I loved it!
6. What I started doing was compersion shopping Wal-mart will honor any compators coupon as long as you have the ad
7. It helped me to stop using my debit card & withdrawl a certain amount of cash each week to spend so I am more aware of how much I have.
8. Use coupons and buy stuff from ebay.
9. I sit limits and avoid shopping for things. I also make a game of it and you should see the poor cashiers face if my grocery total is more than $80 for 2 weeks! Poor girls. I set limits, I don't buy what I do not need, I have no savings because I cant keep my car running but soon when I get a newer one I will be putting x amount of each check in savings immediately.
10. As a mother of four, here are some suggestions I would give to you to save money; 1. Use Coupons at places that Double Coupons. This includes grocery stores and discount stores. 2. Check out videos when possible at a Community Public Library. Your taxpayer dollars goes to help the public library and most libraries will loan out videos to you for free or at a small cost (like a $1 for two days). 3. Purchase your children's clothes at discount retailers like Target or a discount clothing store like TJMAX and ROSS. At discount retailers, you can get more for your money as opposed to purchasing at a Department Store that will cost you more money. 4. Eat your meal at home instead of eating out. Eat ting at home will save you money and you can all learn about proper nutrition because eat ting out too ofter can be unhealthy and costly.
11. Get a job and keep earning it. Don't spent it right away though.
