Everyone loves holidays, but money worries this time of year can put a dampen on your festivities. Which is why have put together some tips leading up to this holiday season so that you can celebrate without breaking the bank.
- Save money on fuel
- Fuel up before petrol prices go up on Wednesday
- Keep your tires properly inflated. Check them once a month; otherwise, you’re wasting fuel, risking a blowout and wearing them out more quickly.
- Save money on your power bill
- Replace standard light globes with energy efficient globes which cut greenhouse gas emissions and running costs by 75% but produce just as much light.
- Save money on your plastering needs
- Buy in bulk: take advantage of quantity breaks and get a better deal
- Pay with FlexiRent: on any purchase over $1500 and instead pay it off small installments on a weekly basis
- Get it while it’s going cheap in the Pro Deals Catalogue: make the most of our great value specials in November and December to keep more cash in you pocket come Christmas
- Save money on travel and family vacations
- Most Royal Automotive Club members can get excellent discounts on car hire, travel insurance, theme park & attraction tickets, tours, accommodation and driving overseas. To find out more simply Google RAC and then the first letter/s of your state (e.g. RACQ, RAC WA, RACV)
- Planning something last minute and a little strapped for cash? Go to www.wotif.com.au, or www.lastminute.com.au. Often hotels will have online only specials, so just get on the web have a look around.
- Save money for next year!
- Empty all your coins out of your car and wallet at the end of each day and place it in a jar. When the jar is full take it to the bank and don’t touch it.
If you save just $5 per week by next Christmas you will have $260. Put that money in a high interest savings account and you could have even more money to help keep you cashed up next holiday season!
