Save money on these essentials...
Prescriptions
Save money by buying a Pre-Payment Prescription Certificate (PPC).
If you get a lot of things you need on prescription, this could save you a lot of money.
Mobile, TV and broadband
Sometimes it is cheaper to pay for phone, internet and TV in one package.
You can also:
- Check you are not paying for things you do not use
- Make use of free wifi when you can
- Be cheeky and ask for a better deal. Say you have found one with another provider
- Get rid of any services that are nice to have but not really needed
Transport
Do you really need to use your car all the time?
Selling would save you money on fuel, insurance and repairs.
A car can be cheaper than public transport. But there are ways to make savings there too. Such as:
- Buying season tickets
- Travelling off-peak
- Using discount codes
Using cars less is also better for our health and the environment.
Reduce spending on food, toiletries and cleaning products
We all need to buy these. See what you can save by:
- Switching to own brand products
- Making the most of special offers, cashback and coupons
- Only buying what you need
Keep a list tracking what you need to buy on a weekly shop and stick to it.
Insurance
We all need insurance. But you may be paying more for for it than you should.
Such as:
- Paying for mobile insurance that is covered by your contents
- Paying more for a company you are used to being with
