3 Ways to Save This Year

We’ve got some top tips on saving money this year!

  • Buy gift cards at a discount – Many big box stores or credit card companies offer discounts on gift cards, most often around holidays. You can save up to $25 when purchasing multiple cards during such promotions.
  • Skip the alcohol when dining out – Restaurants' biggest profit margins are typically on the alcoholic beverages they serve. You can buy a whole bottle of booze for what they’re charging for a shot or two. Save the cocktails until you return home.
  • Get a mid-tier smartphone – Phones today come packed with all kinds of apps and features, typically many more than people ever use. And most manufacturers offer cheaper versions of their flagship models. Taking a step down can save you hundreds of dollars and still give you a phone packed with features. (Hey, most of us are old enough to remember when just making a call was all we expected from a phone.)
