Looking for simpler ways to cut down your expenditure so you can look forward to a Debt Free lifestyle? Below gives you some simple debt free tips showing you how you can be thrifty with your spending.

1: Learn the art of cooking – The UK is know for it’s love of ready meals and takeaways. But treating yourself to these a few times a week can really fray your purse strings. Learning how to cook means that you can discover how to make your meals for much cheaper, and then…

2: Use the leftovers – Instead of buying expensive sandwiches from the local shop, you can take your leftovers to work instead. This could save you as much as £5 a day which can really add up and go towards clearing your debt.

3: Have a night in – Once you have perfected your culinary skills you can save additional money by occasionally swapping a night out for a night in. Buying a bottle of wine from the supermarket is much cheaper than the house white in your local restaurant, or asking your friends to bring a bottle in return for you cooking could save you even more.

4: Don’t throw items out – You might have a wardrobe full of clothes which you wouldn’t ever be seen wearing again or perhaps items which are looking a little bit tatty around the edges. But you might be surprised at how many bidders you could get on your ‘vintage clothing’. So put them on eBay or another internet auction site and use this additional money to pay a little bit more off your debts.

5: Get an internet phone – Keeping in touch with friends or family abroad no longer needs to be expensive. Getting an internet phone or chatting through instant messenger could save you money on your phone bill.

6: Don’t burn fuel – Petrol is expensive so it is important that you don’t waste fuel. Driving more economically, such as breaking slowly can help you save fuel, or you could consider leaving the car at home for shorter journeys.

7: Get Debt Help – If you are struggling with debts then it is great that you are trying to be more frugal, as the small changes really do add up. But remember there is also debt help out there which is designed to help you become Debt Free by making payments which are affordable to you.
