You can reduce your bills by optimizing your expenses. However, to do this, you need to record your profits and costs, preferably in a mobile app that is quickly installed on your smartphone. Determine the essential and obligatory items of expenditure: food, payment of utility bills, mobile phone, Internet, sports, etc. Nevertheless, there should also be funds for entertainment. It is essential to consider all family members’ income and expenses if you have a common budget.
Set a limit on food
Food costs consume a significant portion of your budget, so determine how much you will spend on groceries per week. Set a daily limit. Fill your fridge not at the nearest shop around the corner but at a hypermarket. Pay attention to promotions and price levels at different shops. Why pay more when you can get the same product 5-7% cheaper? It will noticeably reduce the cost of food. It is very convenient to use programs and applications that collect information about prices for the same goods in different shops, discounts, and promotions. Read more about how to lower my bills.
Reduce your health costs
If it is possible, lead a healthy lifestyle. Light exercise, a walk in the fresh air, a healthy diet, and positive emotions will keep you physically fit. Do not skimp on prevention. Treating a disease is always more expensive than preventing it from developing. Periodically undergo check-ups with a doctor and take tests. Be attentive to yourself, but do not allow unnecessary expenses. Perhaps you do not need an “all-inclusive” membership at your favorite sports complex, but just a swimming pool, Pilates, or yoga will suffice.
Keep track of small spending
It is not just about the little things we grab at the checkout while waiting for our turn. You may want to review your paid subscriptions. A forgotten app on your phone or an unused online cinema can waste your money on the ‘machine’ on a regular basis. Remove anything unnecessary and your bills will become smaller. Also, develop a new habit of not making spontaneous purchases of even small items.
Limit spending on entertainment
If you are used to having a big holiday in restaurants and entertainment complexes, at least try to reduce this format of rest. For example, spend one weekend with friends travelling to various places. In addition, the next weekend stay at home: watch your favorite film, cook something delicious together, play board games, do your hobbies. You can also choose less expensive restaurants and cafes; there is an average, quite decent segment. However, you cannot give up this item of expenditure under any circumstances.
Analyze the necessary costs
Optimize necessary expenses. Check mobile phone and internet tariffs. Perhaps the tariff is long outdated, and the operator is ready to offer a more favorable option for you. This applies not only to the Internet, but also to food, buying clothes, etc. You can dress beautifully, buying things not in a VIP boutique, but in a shop with more affordable prices. There will be no loss of quality.
Buy where there is cashback
To get a cashback, or a refund part of the cost of purchases, you should use a bank card and special services. When the payment is fixed and verified by the service, you will receive a percentage of the purchase on your account. Thus, your shopping on the Internet will be more beneficial and pleasant.
All these recommendations will help to significantly lower my bills, which means that you can put aside free money to form a safety cushion or for a large purchase, investment in your education, health or travelling.
