Tips on how to save your money

By

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – Even though we’ve been out of the recession for some time, we’re still recovering, and one expert suggests we should continue saving money.  You don’t necessarily have to give up all the things you enjoy, you just need to cut back a little.  And it could be as simple as canceling that gym membership, buying cheaper tomato sauce, or using less shampoo.

Kira Vermond, Chatelaine magazine’s money columnist, explains libraries are another great way to save money. “You can rent, obviously you can get books, you can get DVDs, you can get music.  What’s so nice about the library is you end up with all this fabulous stuff that you get to walk home with for free and you still get that really nice rush.”

She adds if you’re planning to make a big purchase like good hockey tickets or a vacation, save up and don’t put it on credit. She also recommends opening a ‘wish’ account.
