Nearly half of Brits have tried new money-saving methods this year - but over a third still have not found a method that works for them
Brits have been reusing teabags, showering at the gym, and pre-prepping meals to save money this year, according to research.
And 31 per cent found price comparison websites were an invaluable tool for saving cash, while 16 per cent have relied on savings spreadsheets. Following the findings, financial guru Meg Micklewright, 26, who runs a money-saving-tips Instagram account, @thesavvyspenderofficial, has offered her advice on how to save cash.
The research also found 29 per cent of Brits admit to splurging cash on eating out, while 19 per cent drop unnecessary money on clothes. But Meg says these unintentional purchases could be stopping them having more financial freedom. The savvy spender also believes technology is both a blessing and a curse when it comes to how people access their cash. And while everyone is trying to make their money go as far as they can, a balance has to be found so life can still be enjoyable.
“When it comes to tech in the home, my tip would really be to get a smart meter – it makes you so aware of how much energy you’re using.
