Another hack is to help you save more is paying with cash.

Paying with cash helps to know how much you spend on items, which is quite different from swiping with your atm debit card that you don't know how much you've spent.

Spending with cash has a way of controlling your expenses but with an atm debit card you tend to spend more without knowing how much is left in your account.

Also, there are some charges when you use your atm debit card to pay for things.

It might be convenient to go cashless and pay for things with your atm debit card but it is wiser to pay with cash.

3. Repair things yourself

Doing repairs is another way you can save more. You can do simple repair and maintenance yourself instead of paying someone to do such repair and maintenance.

Most of the repair that is always needed to be done is either in the home or the car. Go online and watch video tutorials on how to do some basic repairs and try them out. You save more on cash when you do simple and basic home and car repairs.

4. Cook your meals yourself

To save more on meals, it is best advisable to do prepare most of your meals yourself. It saves more to cook at home rather than eating out and ordering food.

5. Wait till the price drops

If something new comes out and there is a high demand for such product, it is always expensive at first.

You don't have to be in a rush to get it. Let the buzz die down before you get such product. The product would have dropped to a reasonable price when the buzz on such product has reduced.
