1) Shop online to save fuel. With fuel costs rocketing, anything you can do to reduce journeys will save you cash. Virtually anything you may desire can be bought online – and usually cheaper than you can find at your local shopping center. If you are the type of person who insists on seeing what they’re buying, then you can at least use the Net to find the best prices, saving you money and extra trips between stores.
2) Find yourself bargains online. Use auction sites such as Ebay and classified ad sites such as Craigslist, Gumtree (and any local ones) to find bargains – regardless of whether you are buying new or secondhand. If you have a bit more time on your hands, search the more obscure auction sites too, as they can often have good bargains.
3) Use price comparison sites. For lots of things like car & household insurance, to electricity & gas suppliers, the price comparison sites will help you get the best deal on those essential necessities. Why not make a night or two of it, reviewing all your insurance & utility commitments and see just how much money you can save yourself.
4) Find discount vouchers online. If you’re going out – be it eating out , going to the cinema, bowling etc - just have a quick search of the Internet to see what discount vouchers are available. Either do a Google search for restaurant discount voucher, or visit one of the many money saving tip websites - they usually have a section with details of what vouchers are available. (Just type “money saving tips” “money off voucher” etc into Google)
5) Stay in and have a dinner party. Instead of a big night out, why not invite friends to a dinner party at your home and ask them to bring a bottle. You can find some amusing party games at websites like partyplan.co.uk to make you dinner party a night to remember.
