Pack lunch every day. Takeaways and lunches from the canteen and or shops can get expensive!
Keep an eye out for discounts and use the points on your loyalty cards.
Avoid buying on credit. It will only create more stress in the months to come. Stick to what you can afford with the money you’ve got.
Get creative with entertainment. Instead of restaurants and movies, have family games night or go for a hike.
Plan meals ahead so that you can buy in bulk and shop for cheaper ingredients.
If you can’t afford to socialize make good use of the time at home. Do a spring clean or start exercising.
