If only money really did grow on trees…


Its now the middle of January and pay day at the end of the month still seems a long way off!  All our moods can easily be affected by depressing cash flow issues, but don’t despair its time to stay positive & motivated.   If saving money wasn’t part of your New Year’s resolution list, then you haven’t failed or given up yet, so add it to the fridge as it is now!
Here are some easy tips to help you out:
  • Grab your shopping bag and slip on some athletic shoes, its time to go shopping like an Anneka Rice Challenge quest!  Push yourself to eat healthily for as economically as possible, see how far you can make your cash stretch.  Can you feed the family on £10?  Its definitely possible, see if you can do it.  And whilst your shopping try to complete your list & get round the supermarket in record timing!
  • Use those voucher sites and discount deals, such as Groupon, KGB Deals, Living Social, Keynoir, Wowcher, etc…to their full potential.  You can find special offers for reduced beauty treatments at spas and salons & find healthy eating out options at the same time.  Use the internet to source cheap alternative products, Ebay & Amazon offer really good deals for great products & deliver them straight to your door!  Also websites such as Money saving expert are really helpful, check out this link http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/?gclid=CJGBg5_93q0CFdMifAodYEc_hg
  • Try and make lunch at home during the week rather than buy expensive options on the high street during your lunch break.  Cut out all the unnecessary purchases (avoid the Snickers bars, Walkers crisps, cans of Coke & other bad temptations) they all seem inexpensive & minor but add up over the course of a working week and they certainly aren’t part of your diet plan in achieving those weight loss goals!  Don’t give into those cravings, stay in control of those hunger cravings!
  • Finding interesting things to do for the whole family can be tricky but help is at hand as there are lots of activities & entertainment options being promoted at this time of year.  Head to the Timeout website http://www.timeout.com/ and enter in your location city and it will bring up all the various exhibitions and special offers for you & your family, including ideas for the children of all ages, however big or small.
  • There are lots of new films out at the moment but its really expensive to take the whole family to the cinema, so why not sign up to Net Flix who offer unlimited films & new TV episodes online for only £5.99  a month!   Surely a cheaper alternative to the movies & monthly cable subscriptions.  https://signup.netflix.com/?locale=en-GB
