Restaurant visits

Food is another thing that can drain your finances faster than you think. It's nice to go for lunch and dinner dates often but, not when you don't have enough money to handle that.

If you still want to meet up with your friends, you can just cook a nice meal and have fun at home. This saves you even more money because you can easily make five star meals with simple ingredients from your local grocery store.

Delivery fees

Delivery services have saved us so much stress when shopping. You can order anything you want from your couch and have it delivered right at your doorstep-but for an extra charge of course.

The plan is to save every coin so an option you can opt for is requesting for a pick up arrangement or, shop on days when there are free delivery offers.

Impulsive buys

Impulsive shopping is one of the most common weaknesses we have. There are times when we are in a spending mood, like on a night out with friends, where we end up buying that extra drink we didn't need because it's on offer.

These unnecessary costs when you add up can really veer you off track. This is something that will take time to learn but it will be totally worth it when you realize how much money you will have saved in the end.
