Dry July: Keep That Wallet In Your Pocket
And that we did
July has been a great month for us here at Sense With Cents. We’ve had more wonderful people join our publication to write and read all about saving our precious cents.
The economy is not doing so well at the moment and all over the world there are people who are struggling to make ends meet. There is no shame in needing to save your dollars and being tight with your cents.
They’re your cents, after all.
With grocery prices climbing, rent always getting in the way, inflation and big companies/organisations gate keeping little luxuries (Olympics much — I’m not paying $35 to watch!) Times are financially tough.
We all need to pull together to make those cents stretch as far as they can.
This month, we’ve been looking at tips from some brilliant writers, you can check them out here:
Ali Mai shared tips for travelling Prague for less than $10 a day and living life as a minimalist.
Debra Urbacz discussed the impact on wealth, health and the planet that a bicycle can bring.
Nit Arora shared how you can save by discount hunting.
This Is Sophie Today shared how to save money by living sustainably.
Spiritworth wrote about finding discounts while shopping on Amazon.
Claire_Han discussed how to stay money savvy while shopping at sales. Don’t let them dupe you!
Adrienne Beaumont wrote about creating an authentic Italian meal for only $3.83.
