Save money ON a rainy day

Nothing beats the smell of fresh rain and wet soil or the feeling of the cool Spring breeze. For some, typical Spring weather creates the desire to dive underneath blankets and watch Netflix TV shows; others get a new-found energy and zest for life!

Why not use this time of the year to save money? If you’re stuck inside the house and feeling bored, take a look at our list of ways you can save money on a rainy day:

Take a good look at your current budget

Sometimes your budget needs more of a thorough Spring cleaning than your home. If you’ve become a little lazy when it comes to putting money into savings every month or developed some bad spending habits, it’s time to make some changes. Go through your budget and find ways you can stop wasting money.

Spend some time looking for online deals

We end up wasting  a lot of money on purchases because we don’t take the time to compare prices online. Many online stores have massive deals for various items. Online shopping can be addictive, so just make sure you don’t spend money on things you don’t need.

Sort out all your meals for the week

You may be spending way too much money on groceries every week. So, instead of just preparing meals without putting much thought into the process or eating out every other night, prep your meals for the week. This will save you a lot of time and money.

Sort out your credit cards

Are you on top of your credit situation? If you are paying awfully high credit card bills, it might be a good time to cut up some of your cards. Assess which cards you still need to pay off and which ones you can get rid of without hurting your credit score.

Clean your house

Why hire someone to clean your house when you can do it yourself? Spend the day cleaning your house and gathering items you don’t need anymore. You can sell second-hand items online – you’d be surprised at what you can get money for online!

Invest your time in your freelancing career

Do you have a skill or talent you’re not using? If so, it’s time to put your time and effort into freelancing to earn some extra cash. Whether you can copywrite, take amazing photos, design websites or create websites, a rainy day is the best time to start making extra cash by freelancing.

Save money by “doing it yourself”

Do you have a kid’s party coming up soon? Well, make a cake. Are your favourite jeans torn? Learn how to use a needle and thread to fix it up. Do you need home cleaning supplies? Well, create your very own cleaning supplies using items you already have in your kitchen! Figuring out creative ways to save money can be a lot of fun, especially on cold, rainy days.
