2. Take advantage of discount codes and cashback offers
When you’re actively trying to be frugal and save as much as possible, the best trick is to look out for coupon codes but also for nice clearances at the end of the season.
One of the most popular methods for discount codes and cashback is phone applications, and one of my favorites is Ibotta. Besides the fact that you can access them quickly, they also have partnerships with various stores to offer you the best price on the market. Furthermore, you will get a free sign-up bonus of $20 that you can use for your future shopping just because you downloaded the app. How awesome is that?
This way, you can find many offers that can be even better than those in stores. Who says you have to give up your dream of having a house just like in magazines?
You don’t have to pay a huge amount of money for things you can buy at a reasonable price. Be a bargain shopper!
…psst! Don’t forget that Amazon also has a lot of nice deals depending on what you are looking for. I remember buying a very fancy coffee table from them a couple of years ago at a very budget-friendly price!
