Money’s a tricky one. Like me, you might be always wondering about how you can save more money, especially around the house.  You don’t have to tighten your belt too much in order to help your home finances. Here are some of the easy changes which can make your money go further.

I love giving tips on sorting out your home. One of the things you can do to make the whole place more spacious is have a big clear-out. Depending on the amount of clutter you have, this could mean a great opportunity to make some money. There are all kinds of sites such as Mazumamobile which you can use to recycle your old mobile phone. I’m sure you have a lot of clothes which you haven’t worn in a long time. These can be sold online, or at car boots. You’ll be amazed at what some people will pay for things you never touch. We did a huge car boot when we moved house and made over £100, it’s hard work but it’s really worth it. 

There are a few things you can do to cut down your home bills. It’s not exactly exciting to go looking for another provider, but there might be a much better deal out there for you. There are a variety of comparison websites where you can stack up different broadband, electricity, and water plans. You might also want to make your home more energy-efficient. This ensures that you’re not only being green, but can cut back on your cost of living by a lot. Light rabbit is a site which sells all kinds of LED lighting products. These are as effective as the energy-guzzling bulbs you probably use now, but will also cut down your electricity bill.

For the next tip, take a look in your fridge and cupboards. I’m sure you’ll see a few items which you could have done without this week. Unnecessary impulse buying can bump up the cost of your groceries significantly. Try to cut out as much stuff that you don’t need as possible. If most of your weekly shop is made up of popular brands, then consider a few “own brand” goods or switching to a cheaper supermarket. 

There are many other things you can do to save money at home, but these three will get you off to a great start. Certain changes you can make might take some getting used to, but when you see how much you’re saving it’s likely to get easier. Getting your finances in order can take a long time, but every little helps!
