    A popular way of saving money is to designate at least one day a month as a no-spend day. A no-spend day is precisely what it sounds like, a day where you spend no money.

    Generally, most people tend to spend money every day, and, of course, this all adds up. So, by at least spending no money on one or two days a year, you would be surprised by how much you might end up saving.

    8. Attempt more DIY – try to fix it yourself

    If something breaks or needs some fine-tuning, you could save money by attempting to fix it yourself, as you’ll save money on calling out a professional.

    You should only attempt to fix something if it’s safe to do so, but when it is, you should definitely try.

    7. Write a shopping list – plan for just what you need

    By putting a set amount of money into your savings account and refusing to dip into it unnecessarily, you will build up considerable savings in no time. Saving this extra money will go a long way in helping you reach your savings goals.

    Another great tip to save money quickly is to try and cut back on your utility bills when possible. As energy bills and heating bills tend to contribute significantly to overall monthly fixed costs reducing them in any way can result in huge savings.

    The main ways to reduce these utility bills are to change your plans or to change providers.

    4. Review your subscription services – do you need them all?

    With so many streaming services available today, many people are guilty of having far too many subscriptions ongoing at once.

    Taking a serious look at all of your monthly subscriptions that take money out of your account via direct debit. Decide which ones are worth keeping and which you can live without will make some additional savings to reach your financial goals.

    3. Be creative with food – reducing food waste by using leftover food
