Thrifty Tips

Check out these 5 thrifty-tips to save money.

1. Use “Scooping” to Pay Down Debts.

Every time you check your bank, “scoop” the odd pennies to round down balances. 

Example:
£243.67 → scoop 67p into savings or debt repayment. 

Small scoops become £20–£40/month. 

 
 

2.

Choose Loose Fruit And Veg Rather Than Pre-Packaged.
Buy loose fruit and vegetables, rather than pre-packed options – you will pay less and at the same time reduce waste.
 
 

3.

Negotiate EVERYTHING (with one script).

Call broadband, insurance, TV, or mobile providers and say:


“I’d like to remain a customer, but only if you can match the best price on the market.”

This works shockingly often

 
 

4.

No One Needs Forty Pairs Of Shoes.

Clothes, shoes, handbags can become an obsession. Yes, you probably want to have shoes for different occasions (nobody would argue with that) but you certainly don’t need forty pairs. Plan and resist temptation.
 
 

5.

Slash Car Insurance Prices With This Trick.

Go to comparison sites and change your job title to an equivalent but lower-risk one (must still be truthful).
Example:

  • “Chef” vs “Catering Assistant”

  • “Journalist” vs “Writer”
    Can reduce the premium significantly.
    Savings: £50–£300/year.
