No paying interest on credit cards and I don’t spend money on fast food or takeaways. If I am out for any length of time I take water from home and a chill pack. It is amazing how much I save that way. ]]> http://allmumsaid.com.au/cheap-online-shopping-australia-250-crazy-sales-giveaway/#comment-160952 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 12:42:42 +0000 http://allmumsaid.com.au/?p=8855#comment-160952 I save money by making additional payments on my mortgage – the $$$ interest savings definitely add up! ]]> http://allmumsaid.com.au/cheap-online-shopping-australia-250-crazy-sales-giveaway/#comment-160951 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 12:32:28 +0000 http://allmumsaid.com.au/?p=8855#comment-160951 I try to give gifts of time (babysitting, lawn mowing, car washing, etc) instead of buying presents people don’t want or won’t use.
Then I deposit 10% of any pay into a savings account.
That way if I earn $2000 or $200 my loss to savings is the same by percent (which I barely notice). ]]> http://allmumsaid.com.au/cheap-online-shopping-australia-250-crazy-sales-giveaway/#comment-160950 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 12:22:59 +0000 http://allmumsaid.com.au/?p=8855#comment-160950 I write a shopping list before leaving the house and only buy what is on the list. If it wasn’t important enough to be on the list then you don’t need it! it stops impulse buying which is such a budget killer and helps prioritise spending. ]]> http://allmumsaid.com.au/cheap-online-shopping-australia-250-crazy-sales-giveaway/#comment-160949 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 11:41:47 +0000 http://allmumsaid.com.au/?p=8855#comment-160949 I save money by researching the best price for nearly everything especially big items. ]]> http://allmumsaid.com.au/cheap-online-shopping-australia-250-crazy-sales-giveaway/#comment-160948 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 11:40:47 +0000 http://allmumsaid.com.au/?p=8855#comment-160948 Every time I don’t impulse buy I transfer the money onto our mortgage. It adds up very quickly! ]]> http://allmumsaid.com.au/cheap-online-shopping-australia-250-crazy-sales-giveaway/#comment-160947 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 11:28:14 +0000 http://allmumsaid.com.au/?p=8855#comment-160947 make a list before you shop and make a menu list so you buy what you need in one shop ]]> http://allmumsaid.com.au/cheap-online-shopping-australia-250-crazy-sales-giveaway/#comment-160946 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 10:46:33 +0000 http://allmumsaid.com.au/?p=8855#comment-160946 I’ve just read all the 123 comments above me and I’m so inspired and motivated to save money!! So many fab tips, I’m gonna be rich woohoo haha! Thank you everyone up there ^^^ . I’m what my Dad calls me ‘penny wise and pound foolish’. Like I’ll drive an extra few kilometres to get to a petrol station with cheap fuel but then buy a $5 sausage roll there because I got hungry! Aaargh! So I guess my tip is don’t go shopping hungry, with kids, or with me lol 🙂 ]]> http://allmumsaid.com.au/cheap-online-shopping-australia-250-crazy-sales-giveaway/#comment-160945 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 10:40:24 +0000 http://allmumsaid.com.au/?p=8855#comment-160945 I save money by hiding it from the kids!
