With so much gloomy economic stuff in the news about financial crisis and credit crunch, exactly what can you do to save money?
In desparate times like these, the Web is your friend. There are many ways you can use it to save cash and have fun at the same time.
How about these 5 great top tips to save money and beat the credit crunch
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 desire can be bought on the web – and usually cheaper than you can find at your local shopping mall. If you are the type of person who insists on seeing what they’re buying, then you can at least use the Web to research the best prices, saving you money and extra trips between stores.
2) Find yourself bargains online. Use online auction sites like 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 have a bit more time on your hands, search the more obscure 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) Find discount vouchers online. If you’re going out – be it a restaurant , going to the cinema, bowling etc - just have a quick “Google” to see what discount vouchers can be had. Either do a Google search for restaurant discount voucher, or visit one of the many money saving tip websites - they usually have pages 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 big night out, why not invite friends round for dinner-and ask them to bring a bottle. You can find some amusing party games at websites like partyplan.co.uk to make you dinner party a night to remember.
