Australian HomeLoan Budget Tips
One
important way to save is to find ways of maintaining your current
lifestyle but cutting the costs of that lifestyle.
The Entertainment™ Book
The Entertainment™ Book is a restaurant and activity guide
that provides special 25 to 50% off and 2-for-1 offers from many
of the best restaurants, hotels and attractions throughout Australia
& New Zealand.
Whether you are a purchaser of the Book, an organisation that distributes
the Book, or a business that participates in the Book you will find
plenty of information on the Entertainment
Book site that will help you. Just follow the links in the upper
left to view the areas that interest you.
This can save you hundreds of dollars a year with no feeling
of being deprived if
you currently eat out regularly.
Supermarket Savings
For those who do not eat out frequently save with buying Generic
or Home brand products when supermarket shopping. Most home brand
products are equivalent to the most popular brand.
Have a snack before you shop. If you feel fuller and more content
you will not purchase things you do not need.
Shop with a list and you will save both time and money if you stick
to the list.
Daily Savings
If working away from home pack a lunch and you will save over $25/week
over a working year that is well over $1000
For families that need to have broadband internet connection for
business or study - stop buying a newspaper. Visit News.com.au
or find your local newspaper at News
Limited Metropolitan Newspapers.
Health Savings
Quit and save a packet
If you give up a pack a day habit, you save a packet (and your
health). The average packet of 20 cigarettes costs you about $7.30.
A year after you have quit, your increased risk of dying from a
heart attack is almost half that of a continuing smoker. You will
have saved $2,657 and could buy a round the world ticket, pay a
lump sum off the mortgage or buy a new computer.
