On this episode of the Money Confidence podcast, Sarah and Georgia talk about ways you can reduce your expenditure.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

There are lots of ways to reduce your expenditure and all the little cut backs you can make will really add up over the longer term.

Review your direct debits and subscriptions and look at those you don't need.

Shop around for cheaper deals. There's some good comparison sites that can help you with this.

Look for offers, discounts and vouchers so you don't have to pay full price. On the O2 priority app you can get things for free.

Swap brands for cheaper versions.

Cut back on convenience buys, such as takeaways coffees and food.

Don't forget about student discounts if you qualify.

unsubscribe from emails that tempt you to spend money on things you don't really need.

When you put an item in your basket online, wait 24 to 48 hours before you buy it, so that you have time to think about whether you actually need it.
