This week, Meg, Clint, and Dan teamed up with ASB and asked for people’s top money savings tips and tbh thank god they did because I need all the help I can get.
Every step counts with helping you stay on top of your finances, so we jotted down the absolute best tips as suggested by the Edge whānau:
"Get a trusted friend to open a shared bank account for you. One that you can’t see or touch but has a small automatic payment each week. The only time you're allowed to access the account is at the end of the year." - Shelly
"Always invite your mum on shopping trips, and more often than not, your mum will offer to pay for all your shopping." - Camilla
"Go away on holiday during Christmas time so you can save on buying all your family Christmas presents" - Danyele
"If you see something you like online, some places will give you a birthday discount. So sign up for a new account and pop in your birthday for a week away, then they’ll send you a birthday discount." - Meg
"To save money on buying presents, just re-gift those gifts that you’ve been given but don’t really like (but gift it to someone who you know would love it more)" - Kirsten
Give these money-saving tips a try. Every step counts, head to ASB’s Cost of Living Navigator to find tools and resources to help you through the cost-of-living crisis.
