1. Create a savings account.
One of the first things you should consider when you start saving money is to set up a separate bank account which is different to one you use on a daily basis. Everyone's experienced that one purchase which was completely unnecessary, and it was bought because of that £20 lying around in your bank account. Another mini bank account you can have at home is a can or pot where you put loose change and after a couple of months you can take it to your local supermarket and get it changed - it soon adds up.
2. Set a monthly budget.
Last year I used to set myself a £15 budget for each month, tbh with me that didn't work because being a beauty guru that's not really a reasonable amount because there's little products you can get for £15, especially if you're hooked on high end products. If you do this then make sure you consider a reasonable amount which allows you to buy enough things but doesn't allow too much money to slip out your bank.
3. You've got a best friend called DIY.
DIY everything... well most things. This saves so much money over the months, if you opt for cheap things and then decorate them yourself with washy tape, pens and stickers which definitely works out cheaper than buying a new product. It's way fun starting from scratch as well, so best of both worlds.
4. Look out for coupons, deals and vouchers.
Download voucher apps, google them, etc... There's so many vouchers which are always going around which can save you minimum £10 a month!
5. Clear out old things.
This is something which is hard if you're anything like me - a hoarder! I can't just sell things straight away, I debate it for months and then finally put it back to place or finally give in and Depop it (beautybybeth on Depop). There's many websites and shops which allow you to sell items, so there's no reason not to sell something which you don't use anymore.
What's your preferred way to make money?
Thank you so much for reading, see you Wednesday.
