Money Sense EASY WAYS TO SAVE MONEY

1FIND THE
CHEAPEST
BANK FOR YOU

Banks offer different rates and packages for different people and no two banks are alike. Shop around for the bank that offers you the lowest rates for your needs and notice the dif-ference on your next monthly statement.

2MAKE YOUR
PRESENTS
INSTEAD

Presents are wonderful to buy and receive, but most times it’s about the thought behind the gift than the actual present. Save money and get in touch with your creative side by mak-ing your presents. Your loved ones will appreciate the effort and your pocket will appreciate the savings.

3WRITE A SHOPPING
LIST BEFORE YOU

GO TO THE STORE

Shopping can become unnecessarily expensive if you are not prepared. Having a shopping list not only makes sure you buy everything you intend to, but it also helps you stay focused and not buy needless things. Stay on track both with your shopping and your finances by making lists.

5WASH YOUR
HANDS OFTEN

It’s simple: people who wash their hands often get sick less than those who don’t. Save money on medicine and work missed from being sick by regularly washing your hands.

4TURN OFF LIGHTS
BEFORE LEAVING

THE HOUSE

When nobody is home, the only person benefitting from a light left on is the electricity company. Save money by turning off lights before you leave home.

6HOME COOKED
FOOD INSTEAD
OF TAKE-AWAYS

Sure, take-aways are convenient and tasty. They are also ex-pensive and add up over time. Cooking at home for the family is almost always cheaper than eating out, and even small dif-ferences add up over time.
