In the past, being frugal was seen negatively as being thrifty and sparing. However, in this
day and age, it is the new cool operation that saves us money instead of losing it. Whereas
before, budget buys and coupon saving was tiresome and unattractive, money-saving
methods are the new savvy way to handle money. Here are some useful tips!
1
Look at it as setting the rules of a game. First of all, ask yourself: will my budget allow me this
pleasure? For some, the urge to shop will never go away. Whether you splurge with a large or
small budget, you will always have the same satisfied feeling. So, turn it into a contest with
yourself. Being frugal doesnt mean never spending, it just means making what you have to
spend count.
2
Be smart with your time. The pressure of keeping up with others has started to lessen in recent
years. Now, its all about beating others to find the best deals. Before you commit to purchasing
something, think sensibly: check the price in different shops, use price comparison websites and
search for discounts. Youll feel much better than your friend who paid full price for something you
found on sale!
3
Shopping is emotional; its time to get your head involved in the process. So, instead of buying
fresh vegetables from a supermarket, try growing your own. Its fun and a great way to save
money. Also, instead of eating takeaways, check out supermarket meal deals; youll find healthier
options for better prices. How about lunch for work? Dont buy it every day, there are plenty of
leftovers sitting in the fridge!
4
Instead of discarding your perfectly working items for upgraded ones, consider selling them on
auction websites. Your desire for something new will be picked up by the perfect frugal shopper.
Using auction websites, for both selling and buying, will keep your bank account looking healthy.
5
There is something satisfying about saving up for a special treat. A good tip is to label boxes with
Shoe Fund, DVD Fund and so on. Work on bringing back the piggybank! Start saving for things
instead of buying without thinking.
