𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗙𝗮𝘀𝘁: 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗧𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗨𝗞 𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸

This week is UK Savings Week (9 – 15 September), so there’s no better time to take control of your finances.

Here are three tips to get you started on your savings journey.

𝟭) 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀
Review your bank statements and identify subscriptions and memberships you no longer use or could live without.

Cancelling or downgrading just one or two could save you hundreds of pounds a year.

𝟮) 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴
To avoid impulse buying, compile a meal plan and ingredients list before you go shopping.

Swap branded products for supermarket own-brands, which are often just as good but cost less.

𝟯) 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀
Set up a standing order to transfer a fixed amount into your savings account each month, ideally on payday.

Even £25 a month can add up over time and provide a financial cushion for unexpected expenses.
