1) Shop online to save fuel. With fuel being so expensive, anything you can do to reduce trips will save you money. Just about anything you may want or needcan be bought online – and usually cheaper than you can find at your local shopping center. If you like to see what you’re buying, then you can at least use the Net to research the best prices, saving you money and extra mileage 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 used. If you are more patient, search the lesser used 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 must have 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) Look for 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 costly evening out, why not invite friends round for dinner-and ask them to bring a bottle. You can find some hilarious party games at websites like partyplan.co.uk to make you dinner party a night to remember.
