Hands-down winner for me has got to be… Razor Blades!
For a decent set of 4 blades that will not carve up your face or legs before the blades go blunt, you’re looking at an outlay of around R200.00. It’ s just crazy – now add this to a whole host of other small necessities and it you’re easily looking into the thousand’s range. The ever increasing effects of inflation are cutting into our everyday ability to afford the things we need and want, never mind the things we have to pay.
So how do you go about controlling these small monthly expenses?
The most important, is to maintain a budget (visit our MONEY101 Budget Planner for assistance). You will be able to view all your large and small expenses as a factual picture of where and on what you spend your income. This in turn will provide you with quality information as to what expenses are not absolute necessities versus expenses that are essential.
Unfortunately for most of us razor blades are a necessity, that doesn’t mean that the costly outlay still doesn’t bug you!
However, after viewing your overall expenses picture and info, you can make educated decisions on which unnecessary expenses you could possibly cut and save.
