Now that Doms and I decided to get married already, the next step that we need to do is to save. Yep, saving has been part of our lives already and it really sucks knowing that it seems like all our lives we kept on saving and saving. Well, I think this is part of life alredy.
Anyway, now seriously saving, here are some stuff that we need to do:
- Go to the grocery once a week and buy food for the whole week only. Tendency is for us to excess food if we buy for the whole month.
- List all the stuff needed before going to the grocery.
- Make a Menu Guide for our food for every week.
- Avoid going to malls. Hehehe..
- Avoid buying instant cravings like ice cream or cake in the middle of the night.
- We are only allowed to spend 50sgd per month for anything that we want. This refers to food and leisure only. For example, we decide to watch a movie in the 2nd weekend of the month. Movies tickets cost 20sgd for the 2 of us and food for 10sgd. So we only have 20sgd to spend for the rest of the month. That can be our meal if we want to eat in a fastfood or resto.
- If we can avoid things to buy the better.
That’s it!
