Well, I’ve pondered on this problem several times, which is why I’m persistently on the lookout for ways and means to make a more effective use of my time and money. This is in order to improve my (inevitably) hectic day-to-day schedule, and thereby make my life a little less complicated and a little more stress-free.

Now, do remember, while it’s true that money is essential for the everyday little luxuries that we all strive for, on the other hand, time is an almost invaluable gift. So, without further ado, let’s get cracking on how you too can gift yourself BOTH these precious gifts!

1. Add-Ons For Online Shopping

None of us are strangers to the online shopping culture that is all the rage these days. After all, it’s the perfect solution for us poor mortal souls who are more often than not pressed for time and thirsting for variety and great deals. However, were you aware that there are certain tools that can help you take your online shopping game to the next level?

That’s right, folks, if you think you’ve got online shopping down to a pat, then prepare to have your mind blown! Let me introduce you to the word of ‘add-ons’ – an effective way to get even more discounts and deals that you may be missing out on:

• Honey: This wonderful add-on is a proper gem! Honey automatically scans the items in your online shopping cart when you proceed to checkout and once again (automatically!) plugs in available coupon codes that can help lower your costs.
• Wikibuy: This is another wonderful add-on that can actually scour the web for the products you’ve chosen, and subsequently cross-check (like a pro) if you’ve received the best possible deal online.
• Ebates: Activating this little wonder of an add-on on your toolbar (before you happen to shop online) helps you earn back the cash you’ve spent through participating websites.

2. Online Review Websites

We all put a lot of value and trust on recommendations when we happen to be searching for a service or a new, fresh place to go. However, instead of relying on those hit-or-miss word-of-mouth advertisements, why not take advantage of online review websites like Zomato, TripAdvisor, and Revaalo. TripAdvisor is the perfect solution when you’re on the lookout for great hotels and restaurants, and Zomato is the most extensive food and dining review community available in India. As for services such as beauty parlors, packers and movers, gyms, preschools, tailors – you name it! – Revaalo should be your go-to preliminary search.

3. Build A Home Workout Regime

While there still happen to be some gyms that offer a reasonable monthly membership fee, why bother when you can save yourself some time, gas, and membership expenses by building your very own simple gym in the comforts of your dear ol’ home! Now, you don’t require to purchase a bunch of fancy (and rather unnecessary) equipment. You can still partake in a multitude of high-intensity workouts, which only need a couple of dumbbells and a trusty internet connection. Wonderful apps such as Runkeeper, Nike Training Club, and Sworkit can help you stay toned, fit, and very much motivated by constantly tracking your day-to-day progress. It’s sort of like having a personal trainer – but for free!

4. Learn To Prep Meals

Say hello to Pinterest –your new best friend when it comes to searching for easy and quick recipes that you can use to make delicious meals in record time! This will save you the wasted minutes (and hours) you spend in vain as you wait in exhausting queues for the lunch special.

Additionally, not only is eating a homemade lunch every day extremely convenient (and healthy), it can also make a huge impact on your finances. So, make the most of your Sunday afternoons by ensuring you go for a weekly grocery run, which will allow you to prep for the week’s low-maintenance and cost-effective menu!
