One way to save money is by taking advantage of offers and knowing what day certain companies offer discounts.
On Fridays about 4pm Eastern Australian Time, or Eastern Australian Summer Time during daylight saving days Jetstar offer up the Friday Fare Frenzy deals to get discounts on cheap flights and are worth having a look, here's the latest offers:
Voucher codes and printable coupons are a great way to save money and this one you should be able to print off as often as you like and go to different checkouts to spend $50+ each time and get $10 off. Just try and group items as close to $50 as possible!
If you have any vouchers, coupons or discount codes please feel free to share them with others in Australia over on Saver Scene.

One of the best ways to make money the most of your money and create a wage is by having your money in cash savings, obviously if you've got enough in cash savings and if interest rates keep going down it's worth looking at the stock market. For those that are interested in the top interest rates head to the new money section over here: http://money.saverscene.com.au/ to find the latest offers for the best instant access, regular savings and term deposit interest rates.
I hope it helps you all save a bit of cash.
If you have any advice on saving extra money do feel free to share with everyone.
I love free items and often sign up to email lists and facebook pages just to get a free sample.
here's a few things I've learnt when trying to get things for free on the internet.
Never give out your main email address, always sign up for something like a free email account from http://www.gmail.com yahoo or hotmail.
when Liking a facebook page or adding an app choose options such as only allow app to post to my wall, I think it's now just called "Only Me" so that your friends aren't bombarded with messages about your freebie sprees.
Download helpful devices such as free Kindle readers from Amazon for software such as Windows 8, iphone, ipad, blackberry, tablets, macbooks, windows pcs and more:
This is a great price for Rose River Apple Spice Alcoholic Ginger Beer 500mL on sale at Dan Murphys! just $2 a bottle when you buy a case, offer was posted here:
I can't stand these ads, however they do get a good result for the marketing department and a few of the offers have been decent (Milo was better priced at woolworths), here's the latest Down Down Status Quo ad:
I've been looking around at other blogs and there are some nice ones out there, but few give links to websites that tell us about how to get the best out of our banking in Australia. Many give us simple money saving tips like make sure you use leftovers and that you should use a toothpaste roller to get the last out of your toothpaste, like the video I've attached further down.
Many tell you what bank account is good, but if you look at the interest rate it's often not the highest or the best bank account and this is because these websites get paid to get people to sign up for bank accounts, saving accounts and credit cards.
I've recently worked on a community website where you can share the best deals you find and the best bank accounts and interest rates, the site doesn't get commission for finance products (although there are some for specific clothing stores and the like, but Saver Scene Australia stills lists the best prices even if they're not getting paid by a company to do so, that's what a website about best deals is all about!) you can see the main page at www.saverscene.com.au which takes you through all the mass of different categories. However the place to often save the most money is with Banking and there's a separate page for that:
Best offers for Australian banks, highest interest rates, no fees, low interest rate credit cards:
that can be found here: http://www.saverscene.com.au/finance/ and it's updated every Thursday. My favourite sections are the parts that list bank accounts and credit cards that don't have annual fees, why should we be paying for banks to be using our money to invest and offer up the funds for loans to other people? Banks run properly do not need a monthly or annual fee to operate your account, you're doing them a favour by letting them have access to your cash for their investments! Do not give them more them extra money and move to a free bank account or no annual fee credit card today!
