| Since I set a goal for myself(hose/flat/something like that), I looked for a lot of ways to save money, my tips are: - keep track of every cent spent, i started using GnuCash, but there are a lot of other solutions available
- don't buy yourself a lunch every day, make a sandwich at home, or buy a thermo-box for warm food (this saves me ~30€ every week) - if possible, drive by bike instead of the car or public transport - i changed my petroleum gas and power provider and save about ~100€/y - my opinion about coupons and "best deals" (on the web) is: they only mislead you to buy something you don't need. I only use coupons for grocery, and here you also need to be careful and compare the reduced price to prices of other stores. - instead of going to the cinema/restaurant my girlfriend & I make picnics in the park or nature near, sometimes a bottle of wine + glasses is sufficent ;) - second hand buying, ebay doesn't have the good deals anymore i think, but there are other (local) platforms (maybe there is a plugin which cross checks other platforms and puts it next to te amazon price tag?) |
