Is saving even possible nowadays?
The constant increase in prices makes us reflect on the home budget. When bills consume most of your income, there is a need to find a solution. Then effective saving comes to the rescue. It may seem that it will involve a lot of sacrifices, but planning expenses can be something pleasant and, above all, beneficial.
1. Don’t just put off what’s left over
The easiest way to start is to put a small amount in a piggy bank every month. It is best to do it immediately after the payment, so that at the end of the month it does not turn out that we have nothing left. We can start with even PLN 50, and add more each time.
2. Look for substitutes
More expensive is not always better. In drugstores you will find plenty of substitutes for your favorite cosmetics, with the same composition and properties, and often half the price. This applies not only to skin care products, but also to make-up products.
3. Choose cash payment
Currently, we pay by card everywhere, and what is its downside? In fact, we don’t see the money ”escape” from it. Try to pay more in cash, then it’s easier to notice how physical money disappears from our hands. Maybe this will make you think about all the purchases in the basket.
4. Grandma’s way
Do you throw away cream or toothpaste when you can’t squeeze anything out of them anymore? Well, the product does not end here. Grandmas always said to cut the tube in half, and there it turned out that there was still toothpaste for the next few days.
5. Look for gifts all year round
Holidays, birthdays or name days are at the same time every year, and often it is on gifts that we spend the most. That’s why it’s worth looking for gifts all year round. Take advantage of promotions and sales, thanks to which we will not spend the entire paycheck on one occasion.
