THINK OF ALL the things you could do with €150.
You could take a little trip, buy a little treat, put a little away for a rainy day.
It might be easier than you think to save that extra bit of cash. Here’s a few ways to do it by making just one change…
One treat from the coffee shop a day, five times a week, at €3 a pop… that’s €15 a week.
Bringing your own coffee in a flask or swanky insulated cup from home every day could save you €150 in three months.
Even if you’re watching your phone bills like a hawk, chances are you use at least €20 a month to stay in touch.
Smartphone apps like WhatsApp and Viber can cut down on texts and calls eating into your credit. You could save €150 in less than eight months.
Take public transport to work every day but you could walk? Why not pound the pavement instead?
Spending about €30 a week on transport means you could make that €150 saving in just five weeks.
And there would be no more of this:
If a premium brand can of soft drink is your favourite lunchtime treat you’re probably spending around a fiver a week.
Switching to a multipack supermarket brand could bring that down to around €1.70 a week. A few calculations later and you’re looking at saving €150 in around eleven months.
We bet you wouldn’t even spot the difference.
If you’re an avid reader devouring books can be an expensive hobby. Two books a month will set you back at least €20.
The library is free! And in less than eight months you’ll have saved yourself that €150.
Maybe you could spend it on some vintage Famous Fives?
That takeaway you’re so fond of comes at a price… around €25 if there’s a pair of you in it once a week.
Learning how to make your favourite Chinese, Indian or Italian favourites at home could see you pocketing that money instead, saving €150 in six months (give or take a few ingredients).
Like to keep your motor looking swish by treating it to a couple of car washes at the local garage every month?
Do a DIY job on it, and you’re looking at saving at least €20 a month. Think of all the swanky air fresheners and seat covers you can buy with that €150!
Why not take the work out of saving money? You can save €153 a year with one phone call, by switching to Electric Ireland.
