How to plan your week right on a budget

Keep it real

The same is true with your budget. Push yourself to spend smartly and save more – but be realistic when you set up your budget. Saying you won’t buy new clothes all year round might not be realistic but you can shop for clothes online via the Discounter app by taking advantage of the amazing deals and offers on the app.

When you keep it real, you can really win.

Plan your meals

Get your hands on the amazing BOGO deals that the Discounter app has to offer or get 20-50% off on other offers on food and beverage. You can also consider taking a friend along and splitting the bill in half.

The discounter offers it all so you don’t have to break your bank account and feel guilty of overspending. Rewarding yourself once in a while will help you to stay motivated to your goals.

Make smart choices 

Life is all about making choices. When we make the right choices, we end up happier and more content. Instead of going on an expensive holiday abroad, you could go on weekly adventures or plan staycations with your family or friends.

Listen. You’ve got big hopes and dreams- places to go and goals to reach. And you can do it all but it all starts with good financial planning. Always remember if you make a financial plan and stick to it. Your goals aren’t a slow cooker, and your budget isn’t either. You don’t dump in numbers, click a button, and walk away. You’ve got to keep at it and keep with it. Budgeting is telling your money you’re in charge, and sticking to the budget is showing your money you’re in charge.
