10 easy ways to save some money in January

Small but effective ways to save some money in 2018

There's no denying the holidays are an amazing time of year, but it definitely doesn't leave a lot of spare cash around to see you through January. This is where these easy, small but effective ways to save some money in 2018 and claw back some cash for the new year come in.1. Consider your contractsMake back money you probably haven't thought about for months by looking at your phone, gas, electricity and broadband contracts, and seeing where you could get a cheaper deal. If you're paying for 4GB of data but only use 3GB, switch, and so on and so forth until you suddenly have far more money in your bank account and less unused resources on your statements.2. Cancel unused membershipsJanuary might stereotypically be a time for joining the gym, but use the New Year as an excuse to look over your existing memberships and see what you could probably do without, too. Subscription boxes, lessons you've booked in bulk or delivery services you don't use anymore 바카라 게임 웹사이트 even if it means paying more expensive non-members prices when you do want to use them, it'll probably still be less than a membership fee.3. Stop using contactless cardsWe would all consider the purchases we're making SO MUCH MORE if they were made with physical cash rather than a contactless card. Try to take money out at the beginning of the week and be mindful of what you're spending, rather than just tapping your card at the checkout and being oblivious to the money going out of your account.4. Be sale savvyAlthough we're talking about saving, have a think about the necessities you actually need in life and see if you can nab them on the cheap during the January sales. Yes we're talking about a new toaster, and no, not those new boots you spotted last weekend.5. Look over your shopping habitsYou might be a dedicated online shopper or addicted to Marks and Spencer's profiteroles, but it's worth reviewing your shopping habits and seeing if you could get the same stuff somewhere else. Whether that's food, clothes or general shopping, have a look at what you spend and where, and see if there's easy saving to be done.6. Eat breakfast, and take lunchIt's so easy to get into the habit of buying food on the go, especially when you're hungry 바카라 게임 웹사이트 which is why eating a big breakfast that keeps you full until lunchtime and pre-preparing your second meal is so important. Plus, you're likely to have healthier lunches if you take away any tempting options.7. Take unwanted things backOnce Christmas is over, so too is the awkward "pretending you like a gift" thing 바카라 게임 웹사이트 and whether it's a pair of socks, a book you already own, or a coat that's two sizes too small: Take it back. We're all guilty of saying we'll "do it tomorrow" and eventually being so lazy we miss the returns period. You'll regret not having that money when you're left with items you didn't want in the first place.8. Or sell them online if you've left it too lateWhich is why you should try and sell any unwanted stuff online through eBay or similar. Yes, it's a lot of effort and yes it will end up consuming all your free time, but not only will it equate to a bit of extra cash in your account, but loads more free space in your home too.9. Re-gift thingsThere shouldn't be such a taboo about re-gifting things, providing the person you give the item to will actually like it 바카라 게임 웹사이트 and the person you originally received it from will never find out. The same can be said for gifting things from charity shops, raffle sales or discount stores: if the receiver will like it just as much as if it were new, what's the problem?10. Delete your credit card details from online shoppingFresh year, fresh start. By doing this and manually having to type your details in every single time you want to buy something online, you will consider whether you actually need to buy it 바카라 게임 웹사이트 or whether you're just doing it because it's super easy and you're impulse buying. Get into the habit of leaving things in your basket to considering whether or not you actually need them.
