In fact, people spend much more money in summer than in winter, so in the hot season you need to carefully plan your family budget. Write down all your expenses and think about what you can save on.
Instructions
Step 1
If your birthday or other significant date of life falls on the summer, it is most economical to celebrate this event not in a cafe or restaurant, but in nature. For example, you can gather friends and go to the dacha, and if you don't have one, just have a picnic. But remember, you cannot make fires on the ground, only in the grill. Otherwise, you can get a fine.
Step 2
Summer sales begin in July. This month there are 10-20% discounts, but the sizes are still available for almost everything. So if you are in a slow-moving size or are wearing custom items, it is best to start attending the sales now. By the end of summer, you will hardly be able to find things that fit your figure. But women with standard uniforms can postpone their shopping trip to August. At this time, the choice is already smaller, but sizes 44-50 are still there. But discounts reach their maximum, you can save up to 70% of the price.
Step 3
Now is the time to think about what kind of garden tools and equipment you lack in the country. Take a closer look, ask the price, but postpone the purchase until August. At the end of summer, shops traditionally sell such goods. Savings can be up to 30% of the cost.
Step 4
Driving in stuffy, crowded buses and trolleybuses in the summer is simply unbearable. At the same time, the fare only rises in price. But why not walk if the distance is 3-4 stops. Summer is quite conducive to a walking mood, and you will save money.
Step 5
After your vacation, start planning your next summer vacation. The sooner you decide where and how you want to spend your next vacation, the easier it is to save money and the more economical your vacation will be. At the same time, if you want to travel abroad, it is best to purchase a tour six months before the trip. This way you can save up to 50% of the tour cost.
Step 6
Recalculating utility bills is a great way to save money for those who spend most of the summer at the dacha. Upon your return, bring to your operating organization a certificate stating that you were at the dacha (the document can be taken from the administration of your gardening partnership or village), and you will be re-calculated the payment for water (if you do not have meters), sewerage and gas.
Step 7
If in the summer you are going to stay in another area for a long time (for example, you have a summer cottage in another area), at this time it is worth changing your cell phone tariff. In summer, operators offer profitable options for summer residents and those who travel a lot in Russia. Just buy a new SIM card and use it, and keep the old one until autumn.
