There are many reasons why we want or need to save money. Here are 11 hacks that will show you how to save on a daily.

Limit your subscriptions

Nowadays many apps work with subscriptions. Check if you still require all of them and cancel the ones you haven’t used in ages. Every little helps.

30 Day Rule

It’s a simple rule. Avoid impulse buying by waiting 30 days before you purchase something expensive that you don’t necessarily need. If after 30 days you still want it as much as you did before then you’re good to go.

Try buying used

Does it always have to be brand new clothing and furniture? Second hand is not only more eco friendly but also a cheaper alternative. Next time have a look at Facebook Marketplace, Ebay, Shpock, Gumtree, and so on.

Put savings on auto-pilot

It is easy to forget about saving just to realize at the end of the month that there’s barely anything left to put aside. Therefore automate your saving. Pretty much every bank offers this service.

Buy frozen fruits and veggies at times

As an athlete, healthy nutrition is essential. Fresh fruits and veggies can be expensive, especially when they are out of season. There are two ways to save some cash but still get all your vitamins on board. You can either buy frozen fruit and veggies or buy a bunch of them when they are fresh and in season and freeze the amount you’re not consuming right away. That way you can still enjoy strawberries in wintertime.

Buy less often coffee to go

Coffee to go can make life a lot easier on a busy day but at the same breath it adds up and you can easily end up spending 20 bucks a month. So make your own coffee and put it in a thermos rather than buying it.

Make a list before you go to the grocerie store

Taking a list to the grocery store will help to stick to your budget. There’s nothing more tempting than going up and down every aisle trying to figure out what you actually need.

Stay out the stores that tempt you

We all have those shops where we almost feel like we have to buy something because we like the range that much. To avoid those impulse buys of unnecessary items simply don’t enter the shop as often.

Don’t shop when hungry or emotional

Going for groceries when hungry is not a good idea. Most of the time you will end up buying way more stuff than needed. The same counts for times where we are emotional and feel like a little treat will make us happy. Try to wait out those times.

Buy local store brand

Buying the store brand is an easy way to make small savings.

Freeze leftovers

It can be difficult to buy food for a single household because most of the food comes in bigger packages. Cook for two and freeze the spare portion. That way you will waste less food and save time by prepping a meal for a busier day.
