How to save money: non-essential expenses

*

Fun doesn’t have to be expensive –your local community resources such as newspapers, youth centres and libraries have information on many free or low cost activities such as exhibitions.
*

Make your own fun – go to the park, play sport with friends or play card games. Don’t forget to bring drink and snack or lunch packs for you and your family.
*

Rent movies instead of seeing them at the cinema.
*

When inviting friends around for dinner and ask them to bring a food or drink item to share.
*

If you smoke, try to cut down or quit smoking. If you smoke a pack a day at $12 a pack that’s $84 a week and $4380 a year. That could be a second-hand car!
*

Alcohol and gambling can consume a large amount of income. If they are, try and cut down, if you have a problem please refer to section on places that can help
*

Make your own cards and gifts
