Good morning everyone, hope you all enjoyed your valentine with your loved ones, it's a good thing. But let me ask, how much did you spend yesterday? How much did you save?
Let's consider some things we should do to save some money during festive or valentine period.
CONSIDER BUYING SECOND-HAND: If you're on a tight budget, consider buying second-hand items. You can find gently used items that are still in good condition at a fraction of the cost of new items.
DON'T FEEL PRESSURED TO OVERSPEND: The media and advertising can create pressure to overspend during festive or Valentine period. Remember that the holiday season is about spending time with loved ones, not about how much money you spend.
START A SAVINGS PLAN: If you struggle to save for the holidays or Valentine's Day, start a savings plan early in the year. Set aside a small amount of money each month, so you're not hit with a large bill all at once.
HOST A POTLUCK DINNER: Instead of shouldering the cost of a big dinner, consider hosting a potluck dinner. Everyone can bring a dish to share, which helps spread out the cost.
LOOK FOR FREE EVENTS: Many communities host free events during the holiday season or Valentine's Day. Check out local events calendars to see what's happening in your area.
AVOID PAYING FOR UNNECESSARY EXTRAS: During the holidays, companies often add extra fees for things like gift-wrapping, shipping, or express delivery. Avoid these fees by opting for basic packaging and standard delivery.
Following these few steps, you'll enjoy your valentine and at the same time save some money.
