How to Save Money Fast: Three Tips for UK Savings Week

As UK Savings Week approaches (9 – 15 September), there’s no better time to take control of your finances and boost your savings. The campaign’s hashtag, #TakeTheSavingsChallenge, encourages everyone to find creative and practical ways to save. Yes, saving in the current financial climate can be challenging, but it all adds up.

How to Save Money Fast: Three Tips for UK Savings Week
Here are three tips to get you started on your savings journey.

1)   Review and revise your subscriptions
It’s easy to lose track of the small amounts we spend on subscriptions – gym memberships, streaming services and magazine subscriptions. Take a moment to go through your bank statements and identify subscriptions you no longer use or could live without. Cancelling or downgrading just one or two could save you hundreds of pounds a year. You can also check if you’re eligible for discounts, such as special renewal rates or loyalty offers.

2)   Prioritise meal planning
Meal planning is a powerful tool to reduce your weekly grocery bill. Start by planning your meals for the week ahead and creating a shopping list based on your needs. This helps you avoid impulse purchases and ensures you only buy items that will be used. Batch cooking and freezing meals can also help you avoid the temptation of expensive takeaways. Additionally, consider swapping branded products for supermarket own-brands, which are often just as good but cost much less.

3)   Automate your savings
Automating the process can be hugely beneficial if you struggle with saving consistently. Set up a standing order to transfer a fixed amount into your savings account each month, ideally on payday. This way, saving becomes a non-negotiable expense rather than something you do with whatever is left at the end of the month. Even a smallish amount, like £25 a month, can add up over time, create a new habit and provide a financial cushion for unexpected expenses or future goals.
