Sometimes it’s downright impossible for me to save money, other times, I manage very well! Here are just a few things I do to same myself a little bit of money.
Buy cheap shampoo and conditioner
I was once told by a hairdresser that it is actually better for your hair to use cheap shampoo and conditioner. Growing up, my mum bought shampoo and conditioner called Natures Organics. It costs $1.98 at the supermarket. I don’t know what prices are like in other countries, but in Australia, even the more ‘cheaper’ brands of shampoo and conditioner start at around $6.00. I have continued buying Natures Organics since moving out and everytime I go to the hairdressers I am complimented on how healthy and soft my hair is!
Buy in bulk
I live in a dorm room so I can’t really buy anything perishable in bulk as I have no idea where to store it. We’re allowed a bar fridge between the four rooms in the corridor, but once four people have put their stuff in there, it doesn’t leave a lot of room to store things. But I do buy some things in bulk when I can, such as sugar, washing powder, cordial and cleaning products. Most of the time it only saves me a couple of dollars, but every little bit counts, right!
Order a main and take half home
I’m 5’2” and quite small, so I don’t eat all that much. Therefore, for about $3 extra, I buy a main at my favourite restaurant (rather than an entree), eat half and then take the other half home for lunch the next day. I get two delicious meals for the price of one!
