Heyy everyone,
So today I finally got smacked in the mouth by the recession and started making the LONG list of things I needed to cut back on.
All this affects me just DAYS after Spotify announces that it will be changing its FREE service.
So firstly things I am paying for that I REALLY don't need at the moment.
THIS MIGHT JUST HELP YOU AS WELL.
LOVEFILM I got this just so I could follow Phillip DeFranco when he did his 30 day challenge. It's over now and I've just about watched every GOOD film on there so before my free trial ends I've got to stop that.
There, that's one thing and now for the rest.
Sad to see this one go but if I have ANY chance of saving money this year then this will surely have to go. EVEN though it's only £4.99 per month I still think it would be £4.99 per month saved. NOTE even though i won't be getting this or upgrading my account I WILL NOT go to piracy and urge you NOT to go there as well, remember you can't get something for nothing (Legally).
Yep I'm sad to see this go but at £2.20 a week that's about £8.80 a Month, I'll still get it if there's a few GOOD posters in it but I'm definitely going to have to cut back on this habit.
One of the other big things that I have found out most of my money has gone on is food, and expensive food. Now here is where my way of thinking may differ from yours as I'm a student and my school day is mostly taken up with work so I do not really have time to go out at lunch and get something from the shops. I'm not saying that i don't eat anything but instead have something very big in the morning before I go and 2 meals (Lunch and Dinner) when I get back. If I have 3 meals at home then that would save me A LOT of money. OK what I was talking about just then was that making things to eat and to perhaps BRING to school AT HOME will be a lot cheaper than just going to the shops every time I feel only slightly hungry. Usually I would spend about £5 on things I DIDN'T even need and didn't use at school so that would save me a lot of money.
Here is a GREAT way to make a tiny bit of MONEY that might help you out on a rainy day in the near future.
One of the things that I do is ONLINE
surveys BUT you have to look for the ones that reward you instead of just asking for help. Something like
http://www.learnerpanel.co.uk/ is great few earning a few high street vouchers.
There you have it. A few things I am doing to save at the moment and maybe a few things YOU could try to save.
