Today we want to share with you 5 ways to put extra money in your pocket. We have thought about those quick wins, the extra side hustles and those things in your budget that you might want to take the time to look a little more closely at. We all work hard, so let’s try and put a little more into the bank this month.

Online shopping

We can all save time through online shopping. More time gives us the chance to earn more money, and there are all of those benefits when you online shop, too. Always use cashback websites whenever possible and use price comparison tools when buying online. Before checking out, take an extra few seconds to search for a coupon code offering you a discount. If you are in no rush to check your basket out, leave your shopping sitting there for a day or two and you might well receive an email from the company offering you incentives and cashback to continue shopping with them.

Pick up extra income

Whether you are currently between jobs or are looking to top up your income, there are plenty of opportunities to earn extra money on the side. From proofreading to petsitting, there is bound to be an opportunity to suit your skillset and fit in with your lifestyle so take the time to look around and don’t be afraid to give it a go.

Get the best deals on your bills

We all know that we have to pay the bills, but that does not mean that we have to accept all of the current costs. Take the time to shop around for your mortgage, negotiate around your rent and ensure you are getting the best rates on your utility bills. Then it’s time to look at sites like SMARTY Mobile for a better cell phone deal, or check that you are getting the latest TV streaming offers.

Meal plan

Food is often one of our biggest expenses, making it an important area to assess. You might find that by taking your coffee to work each day you can easily save several dollars a week. Or perhaps by taking in your own lunch to work, even just for a couple of days a week, you could be saving even more. It is then worth taking the time to meal plan and think through the week ahead before shopping. By taking the time to plan the week, you can buy just what you need meaning there is no food being wasted.

Sell unwanted items

This is a quick win and can be handy in both helping you to make some extra money and helping you to have a good clear-out. There are plenty of websites out there for you to sell your unwanted items, and then there is the simpler word of mouth option. Let people know what you are selling, use your own and local social media sites, and you will have offloaded a few things before you know it and added money to your pocket.
