1.Track your spendings
Step number one to saving more money is to find out where you are spending your money. Take a look at your old receipts and you might find some surprises.
2. Find out where to cut
Now that you know how you are spending your money it’s time to find where to cut. Try finding cheaper brands for the products you buy the most. Just because they are cheaper doesn’t mean they are and less good.
3. More fruit and veggies
Fruit and veggies are usually very cheap all around the world. So more fruit and veggies = more cash. Try to cut down on expensive meat and dairy, and eat more greens and beans.
4. Homemade is better
Big fan of eating out? We all are, but it is really hard on the wallet. Try to eat at home as much as you can, it is a LOT cheaper.
5. Pack a lunch
If you are spending $5-15 every day on lunch, just imagine how much you could be saving every week. Bring some leftovers from yesterdays dinner or make some sandwiches and watch your money grow.
6. Eat before hitting the shops
When you are hungry you tend to buy a lot more food, and usually not the healthiest foods either. Always eat before getting groceries.
7. Stick to your shopping list
Never go shopping without a shopping list! This counts even if you are just popping into the store to get one thing. All the random stuff you end up with really piles up to a lot of money in the long run.
8. Don’t throw away food
I try to make this my goal every week. If you am throwing away two bananas at the end of every week, you should probably buy less bananas. Bad for the environment and bad for your wallet.
9. Try something new
Don’t be afraid to try new foods! Especially not if they are on sale. You might find something you really like, and a great saving.
10. Set a budget
Since you now know how much you spend on food every week, try to set a budget that is lower than that and stick to it. Repeat this for a few weeks and boom, you have some extra money in your account.
