Shell Shields, who runs the page Christchurch Deals, shares how she finds a good bargain, which community is the secret weapon, and what she'd never cut back on.
I will die on this hill - one of the best ways to manage your money is to be around people with similar values to you, who are part of your team, and cheering you on.
This is particularly the case when it comes to trying to cut back and save.
If friends and family are on the same page as you, you can all work together to make sure that social occasions don’t break the bank, and share any secret deals you each find.
Taking this idea of a deal-hunting community to the next level is the woman behind Christchurch Deals.
Her Instagram page details plenty of bargains happening throughout Christchurch, and while she finds plenty of them herself, they’re also sent to her by followers, friends, and family.
It’s one happy community of bargain-hunters.
So here’s how she finds the deals, and the tactics you can use to find some in your own city.
