  • I’ve been decluttering and selling items on Marketplace. It gives a little bit extra each week. I am also part of buy nothing groups in my area where we give away items. I’ve given away and collected wonderful things. Good for the budget and the environment


  • Go to the op shops for clothing or household goods. Can find some great bargains.


  • I go to the markets before closing and they are getting rid of produce at a reduced price. I can get a whole box of fruit and veg for the week for 10-15 dollars.


  • I would like to express my gratitude to Bsb Forensic for their exceptional assistance in recovering my funds from a forex broker. Their expertise and professionalism in navigating the complex process were truly commendable. Through their guidance and relentless efforts, I was able to successfully retrieve my funds, providing me with much-needed relief. I highly recommend Bsbforensic.tech , to anyone facing similar challenges, as their dedication and commitment to helping clients are truly impressive. Thank you, Bsb Forensic, for your invaluable support in resolving this matter.


  • Markets, i know the local one to me has great second hand clothes and the fruit and veg is very cheap. Also really think before you purchase something is it a need or a want and just avoid all wants for now.


  • I always have a shelf in the fridge for leftovers to make sure they are used, not wasted.
    Many of my pantry items like tuna or cereals are regularly on at half price. I always stock up then.


  • I’m lost. I already do all these things, and more, to decrease my spending and I’m still going under. Hope you find something helpful in the comments section here


  • Cut back on entertainment, use discount coupons, check out weekly supermarket specials.


  • AND with a steamer it is kinder to second hand/charity shop clothes so you can save money on buying clothes at the same time!


  • Bit of a boring one maybe, but buying a clothes steamer – saves on using dry cleaners and uses less electrivity apprarently than an iron.


  • Second hand, market place finds!
    Sharing between friends, family, mother groups.
    Meal prepping & making in bulk. Buying double when on special of items you regularly purchase anyway.
    Calling companies such as insurances, electrical company to see if there is better deals or plans you can go onto.
    Fuel check apps, like the 7/11 one which allows you to lock in a price for 7 days.


  • Buy second hand – it can save lots.


  • I think eating out is very expensive. We always cook at home. Also wo the presents. We don’t overdo it.


  • Storage correctlcy save food to throw out. Like bread to be freeze the excess. Veges to cut and clean to store in the fridge. find the hacks in Youtube


  • Thanks all. Great ideas! I love the idea of a basket to add food too over the next few shops and not all at once.
