For people who like to live in a big way, it is very important to be able to control your budget. If you follow simple rules, it will be possible to organize one more entertainment per month.
1. Without popcorn, a movie is not a movie. Of course, going to the cinema is the most affordable way to spend time away from home. And warm (in winter), and not hot (in summer), and … economically?
Pay attention to the cinemas in your city. Perhaps the prices in them are fundamentally different. It is more than likely that some cinemas offer some kind of promotions and loyalty cards. Feel free to clarify such information. By the way - popcorn and your favorite soda are best purchased at the store along the way. You are guaranteed 3 times savings.
2. Hamburger, French fries and large cola.
Snacks on the way have become commonplace for everyone. Sometimes it is just "to intercept something" when there is no time, and sometimes it is a purposeful visit. Going into fast food restaurants, you should not lose your head. Do not try to be guided by the concepts “I like it, I always take it”, “you can’t go into the Mac and not take fries”, “oh, some kind of novelty, but I haven’t tried it”, “something to drink is obligatory”. Be guided by the feeling of hunger or the desire to eat something specific. Don't get a full tray right away - you can always come back. Do not try to eat everything that is offered - you are not living the last day. By the way, it will be useful to have yourself a bottle of clean water. Then the question of thirst will be closed for you.
3. Visiting shops that sell a lot of little things that can win your heart - do not lose your head. You can always come back for a little thing you like - for a long time almost nothing has been produced in the amount of 1 piece. But there will be time to think about whether you need a third blank notebook?
4. Dress for the weather.
Yes, yes, my mother's wise advice will help you save money. If you dress warmly in cold weather, there will be no temptation to warm up in a cafe, leaving money there.
5. I carry everything with me.
Since you are going for a walk, consider everything. It is better to take all the discount cards if you are going shopping. If it is raining, "whether it will or not," it is better to take an umbrella. And of course, all kinds of handkerchiefs, wet wipes and a bottle of water will always help you out and save you from unnecessary costs. Enjoy your time and spend it wisely!
