Having extra money left… who doesn’t want that? But how? Actually, you can easily save on groceries, fixed costs, and expenses. With these seven practical money-saving tips, we’ll help you get on your way!

Savings Tip 2: Reduce the Time You Spend Using Gas, Water, and Electricity

“Turn off heating and electricity that are not in use. We sometimes visit homes where all rooms are heated. This is not necessary. It is also a good idea to turn off the heat for at least one hour before bed. The heating will be on for a while anyway.

Try To be More Economical, More Sustainable

Don’t leave the lights on all day, and turn off the tap when you brush your teeth. You can also shorten your daily shower time by one minute or reduce the heating by one degree. Your bill will show these minor adjustments.

You can also save money by storing rainwater in a barrel. That water can then be used to water the garden. This way, you are also sustainably doing your job!

Many people want the latest and greatest even if they are not on a budget. Our advice: buy what you need. Why get the newest smartphone when a lower-priced version fits your needs perfectly? And do you really need new clothes, or do you think secondhand will suffice?

Savings Tip 5: Spend More Time When Shopping

We all have impulse buys. There is always something that you want hanging or lying around town. Our golden rule: go home first and think about it. You can always go back if you still want that jumper the next day. The same goes for online shopping. In this case, too, you can leave your purchase in your shopping cart for a day before making a payment. This will help you know whether you really need to buy these things or not.

Saving Tip 6: Make Saving Fun

Many banks allow you to link multiple savings accounts to your account. Set something aside as soon as you get your paycheck. Don’t wait until you have something saved at the end of the month.

Set a goal for each piggy bank. Check your target savings amount, print out a picture of your dream car or resort, and post it full-size on your refrigerator. That way, you can see what you are doing it for each day.
