If you live by yourself, these tips from Insulation Express could save you £172 per week!

1 Cut council tax

If you live alone, you’re entitled to a 25% reduction on your council tax.

2 Benefit check

If you’re on a lower income it could be worth checking if you eligible, as many are based on wage.

3 Car insurance

Adding an extra named driver on your insurance can lower the costs significantly.

4 Meal planning

Tesco have a useful meal planner which can save you money, or just do it yourself. Also, meal prep can save big bucks.

5 Preloved clothes

Save around £21 a week by buying second hand clothes, while being kind to the environment, too.

6 Insulate

By installing proper insulation you can save up to £10 a week on energy costs.

7 Wasting water

For most, water bills are based on property size. If you’re living alone, you’re probably using less. Install a water meter to make sure you’re not overpaying.

8 Hot in here

Check your gas and electric supplier and use a comparison site to see if there’s anything for better value out there.

9 Mobile matters

If you need a new phone you could save hundreds of pounds going for one that does the same things as an iphone but is half the price. Also, getting a sim only deal can be as cheap as £10 a month, rather than extortionate prices on contract phones.

10 Set up savings

Experts recommend putting aside at least 20% of your monthly income, so set up a budget sheet and work out how best to save.
