1. Get The Girls Round
Me and my pals love going out for
dinner or a drink and a boogie, but recently with us all saving, that's had to
come to a bit of a stop. So, we've started going around to each other houses
more. All we do is bring whatever we want to drink and some nibbles and we're
away. I spend a maximum of £5 on nibbles, but when it all gets out on the table
together, you have yourself a right feast and a great night all together!
2. Tick The Films Off Your List.
We all have one, a list of films
that we really should watch but never have. This time of the year is the
perfect time to start ticking that list off. Netflix has a huge amount of great
stuff at the moment, so grab your blanket, make a cup of tea and get out the leftover Christmas chocolates!
3. Shop Your Wardrobe
You may have gathered that am
a bit of a serial shopper. I'm like a magpie drawn to shiny things, I just
cannot help myself. But let’s be real, I definitely don't need that new roll
neck woolly jumper, because I already own about 10 that I’ve forgotten about. This
is also a great time to get rid of anything you don't wear anymore, make a bit
of space so you can re-find the love for the clothes you already own!
4. Track Your Spending
There are loads of apps that can do
this for you, but it easy enough just to jot things down in a notebook, even if
it’s just starting small with keeping a cap of things on your credit card, it’s
a start!
5. Meal Prep
Though the food in the work
canteen, or the Boots meal deal isle might seem like the easiest way around
lunch time, doing a big food shop and preparing your meals for the week is a
sure way to save money. This way you can keep on top of your eating habits and
save a penny or two at the same time! Win!
These are just some little things
I've been thinking about and trying to implement this month, and like the old
saying goes, look after your pennies, and your pennies will look after you.
So, what are your best tips for
saving? Let me know in the comments!
