Saving money is one of the hardest things to do. Haven't you
realize guys? It's really easy to spend money but hard to save? *sighs*
haven't you experienced getting your salary but then after a week, you are on
critical wallet days? I know I do.
So here are some tips that I want to share to help you save
money.
1. Go for DIY products
DIY
or Do-It Yourself products are much cheaper than buying things because you will
be the one to make it for yourself.
This is strongly suggested because you can be able to calculate how much will you be needing
This is strongly suggested because you can be able to calculate how much will you be needing
Like
for make up enthusiasts like me. Buying products for your skin can be really
pricey right? And not all products works for every one. I strongly suggest
ladies out there if you have extra time, try making DIY products you can do
this with your friends and make this as your bonding time.
So
with regards to DIY Products, I strongly suggest you guys can read or watch
different How To's online for different recipes of different things.
AprilAthena7
is like, for me the QUEEN OF ALL DIY PRODUCTS! I really love how she makes
videos of different products from mask down to diy lotions to pore strips. I
really love also how she explains things and you guys, she's testing the DIY
products herself to let her viewers know if the products works or not.
Watch how she makes Biore pore strips and see if it
works- link here
If you haven't tried to watch her videos, you're missing half of your life! Go to her channel now, she also has a daily video blog and a cooking vlog. Iam sure that you will hook on her videos especially her daily vlogs because her son is so cuter as eff! Love that dimples tho =)
Hi Ate April, I hope you are doing well. Please say hi to Justin
and your baby Liam. Hope to see you soon and more power to your channel!

2. Find Alternatives
Finding alternatives is one of the most effective way if you
don't have much of that time in making DIY products. Like for instance,
planner. I already tried using planners of Belle de Jour and Filed. They are
both helpful and fun but I think the price is too much.
To
find alternatives, you can try looking for another planner which works well for
your daily schedule or if not, you can make your own right?
You can ty making your own right? It's way cheaper and much
efficient for you. Why efficient? It's because you can personalize your own
based on your needs and you can control the design from pattern down to colors.
3. Shop Wisely
It's
really nice to shop, right? Personally speaking, it's like a therapy for me. I
really like to see how my closet abounds with clothes and shoes not to mention-
bags but it's really hard to sustain this addiction when I have limited money.
*winks*
So I tried to go to tiangges and ukay-ukays and got addicted to
it. You can haggle for prices so that you can save much money. Imagine, for 500
php, you can be able to purchase more clothes than if you will purchase in
malls. One of the most favorite tiangges that I've ever been in is at St. Peter
Parish at QC during sundays. I call it "Sunday Tiangge" I will walk from
my apartment at Diliman down to St. Peter, I know I know, it's a long walk but it's fun! The
Sunday Tiangge will start on Ever and ends at St. Peter.
Here are the things that I bought last week.
And this lovely shoes, I got this for only 140php. When I saw this I was like "I-HAVE-TO-GET-THIS!" #beastmode
I really love these cut outs
And I'm obsessed with these.
4. Save before you shop
It
is really hard for us to save after you shop right? So what I can suggest is
this. If you have 5000 php with you, you can save the 4000 by leaving it at
your house and bring with you only 1000 everytime you leave. It's way much more
effective especially those people who cannot say no when their urge in spending
is there.
5. Open a bank account
Saving
your money through banks is one of the most effective way to save money. Why?
Because you cannot be able to spend it because the cold cash is in the bank
now. You can open a time deposit account wherein you cannot be able to withdraw
the money in a certain period of time. You can also try to open a pass book
account (I'm not sure what is the exact term for that)
I
cannot suggest an ATM because ATM Machines are everywhere, you can easily
access your card and withdraw your cash- no use! But if you wanted ATM Cards,
well, what I can suggest is you can let your mother or a trusted friend to keep
the card for you. Just don't give the code or if you have an apartment, leave
it in your parent's house. Right?
Saving money is really hard but it will benefit you in the long
run so I do hope you can be able to have ideas now on how to easily save your
money. Good luck guys!
