What are currently your best saving tips you recommend and also
practice, relating
to how you make your money go much further than it used to, whether
it's for
food - weekly living expenses, home and financial investment, etc.
Consume less - don't buy so much food just to throw half of it away
That's good advice.
Turn the heating down - wear a sweater, put another blanket on the bed
Or on a hot day, turn off the AC and post to the NG buck naked.
dump the TV subscription - you don't watch most of it anyway
I've never paid for TV.
lose the smartphone - should be obvious
Don't have one of those either.
don't have kids - probably the biggest single saving you'll ever make
Or have only one.
walk - if you're able-bodied, anything less than a mile should be on foot
When there's time and the weather is nice. Bicycle too.
cancel the gym subscription - you probably never even went once
We get a free one, and I still don't go much.
use gas for heating - turn off the elctric fires
We do that too.
don't wash your clothes after 1 wearing - saves power and they'll last longer
But they get smelly.
use a laptop, not a desktop PC - less power hungry and hibernates better
The screen is too small.
