Do a “no online shopping” month
Before your trip, do a “no online shopping” month to build spending money. Go on, you can do it!
Do a subscription audit
Do you really need your Netflix or other subscriptions? Are you paying too much? Are there better deals available? If you don’t need the subscriptions, cancel them. Search for a better deal.
Sell things online
Do you have spare things at home you don’t need, aren’t using, no longer value or appreciate? Selling them online via eBay or a similar website is a great way to raise money and by recycling you’re doing a good thing for the planet.
Cook your own meals
It takes time to cook your own meals. It’s easier to get a takeaway. Try to avoid the urge and you will save a lot of money. Your body will also thank you.
Book activities in advance
A lot of travel companies offer huge price discounts if you book in advance. What are you waiting for, do it now!
