In this installation of my student blog, I have a few money saving tips for you all. So, to begin with I would like to state this won't be the revolution you may think it is going to be it will be more about saving you a few quid here and a few quid there, let's begin:
- Install the unidays app!
This can give you discount codes of up to 70% on very popular retailers,
it will also update you on sales that are going on. (They also do
giveaways)
- Secondly if you do live in
a house with other friends then you should 100% do shared meals, this not
only makes the cooking process more efficient but splitting the cost will
mean a £6 for you is now only £1.50!
- Pay attention to the
Aspire Instagram for updates on offers on our website.
- Get yourself a loyalty
card for wherever you do your shops, be it a Clubcard for Tesco, or nectar
card for Sainsburys, these will mount up rewards and you will be able to
get a shop for a great deal cheaper when you claim your rewards.
These are the essentials I would suggest for you, I have
used these and saved a considerable amount of money. The next few tips are ones
I would only suggest if you're wanting to save a little more, however these
require a little bit more effort, so it is totally up to you:
- Install an app called
Shoppix, you will need to take pictures of your receipts you have, be it
paper or e-receipts, I have made £100 over 2 years of use with the app.
- The second tip is also
another app, Qmee, this is a survey-based app, they can range between
1-minute to 20-minute surveys that you get instantly paid for upon
completion, I have made £75 in 2 years while using it passively.
- The final tip I have for
you is to budget. However tedious it may sound it allows for very well-maintained
finances, and I could not recommend it enough. If you want me to go over
how I budget, please let us know over on our Instagram page.
