It’s surprising the money you can save if you review and rebroke your current financial obligations. Spend a day reviewing your current outgoings and shop around or speak to a financial adviser like us to see if you could get it cheaper- (it can take some time but can be worth it in the savings you could make!)
Here are a few areas you could save a few pennies to pounds, and while the individual savings may seem small, they soon mount up and you could wind up saving hundreds!
- Food
- Nobody is stipulating that you must sacrifice quality, but have you tried swapping branded items for a shop’s own brand version? Give it a go, you may notice little difference in the product but a nice saving in the cost. If you’re feeling brave, try a ‘cheaper’ supermarket than your usual and see if you could save money and still enjoy the foods you love.
- Council Tax
- Many people may be in the wrong band and therefore paying the wrong amount. It takes a few moments to check and could save you a fair bit of cash.
- Home phone and broadband
- Unfortunately, price walking (rising prices annually for loyal customers) in these products is still rife, so shop around and see where you can secure a cheaper deal or challenge your current provider to see if they can offer you a better deal before you look elsewhere.
- Direct Debits
- Look at your direct debits, you could be paying out on expenses you don’t really need or stopped using ages ago, but never stopped the direct debit?
- Remortgage and rebroke bigger outgoings
- If you’re due to remortgage (and more so if you’re on a standard variable rate) speak to us about how we can help review your mortgage deal and look for potential savings.
- Similarly, speaking to us about insurance and protection policies you have could help ensure not only are they suitable for your needs but the most cost-effective options too.
Looking through your bank statements and cleansing what you can by reviewing it, could save you a lot of money when added up, so put the time aside to take a look.
