Money Saving Tips for the New Year

Wherever possible bulk cook things such as soups, lasagna and casseroles and the freeze portions for later use.

Buy meat in bulk and stock up your freezer, freezing individual portions so that you only have to defrost and cook what you need rather than all at once.

Buy loose fruit and vegetables rather than pre-packed it is cheaper that way. Buy fruit and vegetables in season as they are then at their cheapest, if they can be frozen for future use do so.

Rather than buying on credit save up for the item you want, it saves the big interest payments on the purchases and you will feel good too.

Do you really need that gym membership? Why not use the park or go to work on your push bike! Or download exercise videos for use in your own home.

Use the coupons that come through your door each week, but only if you need the item that the coupon is for!. Also look for coupons online for products that you use. Then compare the reduced cost to the stores on brand to see which is the cheaper.

Take a packed lunch to work or school rather than us the restaurant or the sandwich van. Not only will it be a faction of the cost but will most likely be healthier too!

What recurring monthly subscriptions are you not using? Check any cancellation clauses and then cancel them.

These are just a few of the money saving tips that you can use in the New Year to save yourself a bundle of cash.
