Any tips on saving money as inflation rise?

Check your monthly spending habits and adjust some components, for starters.

​

Probably can start with home Fibre internet plans (as standalone), SIM-only mobile phone plans (less than $20 per line), to ensure no bundled packages of higher value are signed up.

I try to wait for sale and before that I decide to see if I really need the items. As for groceries, I bulk buy to get free delivery if I know I will use them.

Have audacious savings goals. Example: I aimed to top up $15300 to my SRS this year. Having this goal in mind made me very conscious about the timeline because I only had twelve months to complete it. If you don't know what you are saving for, it's hard to maintain your motivation. Yes, not embarrassed to admit that whenever I had a spare $10-20, I transferred it to my SRS acct PROMPTLY.

My long-term saving goal is to make a 💯 Voluntaey Housing Refund - and boy, am I hustling now.

​

I do surveys on apps like Milieu. Whenever I get to cash out, I will shamelessly blast my referral code on my FB page. And sometimes, my friend will take the bait and use my code. Free money FTW! Haha. I have successfully done so for Gemini, Syfe and Cointiply too. No rest for the wicked.

bring your own water bottle when you eat out. Seriously that $5 latte can be eliminated from your life, without much pain haha

Checking the weight of the same items instead of just the price cos things are shrinking! Also try to minimise food wastage, which we should regardless of inflation. More useful tips https://plannerbee.co/learn-personal-finance/sh...
