Savings tip no. 1: Research vouchers and discount codes
Do you shop on the internet regularly? To
save money
when
shopping online
, you don't even have to wait for Black Friday and Co., discounts and reductions are available from many companies at regular intervals. For example, there is often the offer to sign up for the newsletter and thereby get a few percent discount. (You can unsubscribe from the newsletter afterwards.) But actively
googling
for
vouchers
for certain companies or online shops can also be a revelation. There are various websites that collect discount codes and offers that can save you money. If you're on Instagram, you can also use hashtags to
search for
discount codes
from influencers who work with a company.
Savings tip no. 2: Use trial subscriptions
Many newspapers and magazines, podcast apps, streaming services and the like offer
free trial subscriptions
, e.g.
B. for a month.
You should take advantage of that!
Not only can you use it to test whether a service is really something for you, you can also save money, you can pay up to 20 euros per month for some services, which can pile up.
The only important thing is to cancel the trial subscription in good time if you are not interested in pursuing it, otherwise you will end up in the subscription trap.

Clever savings tip No. 3: muck out at home and sell everything
Clear out your home and sell everything that you no longer need but is still in good
shape
on platforms such as
Momox, Ebay Classifieds or Vinted
.
You can still make good money, especially for old electronic items (laptops, cell phones).
Books, DVDs and games are, if you’re honest, just standing around on the shelf and collecting dust?
Out with it and enjoy the money!
You should of course not immediately spend the collected amounts on things that you do not really need, but save so that the need does not arise again at the end of the month.
