Money saving tips from TV expert
News brought to you by Skint Tariffs, providers of price comparison for cheap international calls. With experts predicting that the budget announcement tomorrow will herald an era of restrained consumption, people will be looking to save money in a variety of ways beyond making cheap international calls.
Jasmine Birties, a TV money expert, told the Mirror that within the space of a weekend, people could make decisions which would save them up to a grand.
She said: "There are lots of little changes everyone can make.
"Setting aside an evening or a day across the weekend to do your research and switching a few things over, you can make yourself up to grand in a day."
She suggested taking the food from the back of supermarket shelves as they have a later sell-by date and always buying the loose fruit and vegetables as the pre-packaged versions tend to be more expensive.
And, shopping when hungry is a big no-no, since people who shop on an empty stomach tend to spend 20 per cent more on average.
Rail travellers under the age of 26 who spend more than £72 a year on travel can make savings, the Young Person's rail cards cost £24.
