A Sample from the Tip Store -
Holidays and Travel
If you’re driving – watch the speed limits. A great holiday can become a financial disaster if you end up having to pay speeding fines
You could save hundreds holidaying during low-peak or shoulder travel seasons..
Personal Finances
Maintain a minimum amount in your bank account to avoid fees, and fees for being over-drawn.
General Shopping
When a supermarket sells out of advertised specials, ask for a rain check so you can buy that item at a low price when supplies are replenished.
Scanner errors at the check-out are very common, so you should know your prices and watch your items as they’re being scanned.
Entertainment and Lifestyle
At your local cinema, check out which day of the week is the day they have discounted tickets.
Back to School
Identify your child’s belongings — every pencil, crayon and marker. If you don’t, they may end up in the collection box at school, and so will your money.
In the Garden
Buying plants in bulk can be a cheaper alternative as the price can be negotiated.
Transport and Cars
If you don’t use your car roof racks often, remove them. This will reduce the level of drag on your car when driving. These all add unnecessary weight and can reduce the fuel efficiency of your car.
Romance
Make a scrapbook with photos, mementos, and little notes from your lives together.
Around the House
Make your own cleaning products from vinegar and bicarbonate of soda.
Christmas
Consider sending Christmas cards instead of presents, then get them written & posted early.
