Stop spending it on things you dont need.
Make the distinction.
What you need and what you want are entirely different things.

Buying in bulk is definitely wise.. wholesalee wharehouses do have a membership cost but the monye you save in the long run is alot more than what you pay.
Take public transportations every once in awhile you'll save a couple bucks in gas for sure.
Try to eat meats like chicken and cheaper cuts of beef that are easily purchased and can save you money.
Also when buying foods prepare them yourself.. instead of buying skinless take it off yourself cause you save a significant amount of money.
i hope these helped atleast a little!

Take a packed lunch to work. I started doing this rather than go to the sandwich shop[spending £6 or £7 a day] and save a fortune every month.

When you have the urge to buy something, make sure you are going to actually USE it, and not just buy it for the heck of it. Sure, some "splurging" is okay once and awhile, but too much of it will waste your money.
Also, SAVE THOSE COINS! My mother and I have a "Girls' Night Out" jar in which we put all of our loose change. You should see how fast it fills up! We can save up so much that we could afford massages for the both of us! It still amazes me how those bits of metal add up.

clip coupons. buy generic brands. purchase clothing when it is on sale. if you're pants begin to feel tight, instead of buying new, larger pants, lose weight! mobile plan for night and weekends and minimize the talking you do during the day. cook instead of eating out, and take your leftovers to work for lunch the following day. drink water instead of buying cokes or alcohol. look for buy 1 get 1 free deals. use the lowest grade of gas. save your pennies!! elliminate expensive habits. recycle.

just keep one good credit card and opt out of pre-approved offers and if a loan company calls you up and asks if you need to borrow more money tell them no, thank you.
