Think it's only a few bucks here and there? Think again. Those tiny sums can accumulate into thousands of dollars over time, which can be put towards one of life's bigger purchases.

It's time to make those spare dollars work for you and your future goals!

Round up your purchases and watch those savings grow

Saving money just got a high-tech upgrade. Imagine rounding up your everyday purchases to the nearest dollar and watching that extra change automatically flow into your savings account.

Most banks now let you set the parameters to whatever suits you, so you can save a few cents or dollars every time you buy your morning coffee or anything else. It's a foolproof way to save money without even noticing it. Who said technology couldn't be helpful?

Top tip: RentPay's buffer feature is the perfect way to hold onto a little extra cash and save up reserves to cover you when needed. Think of your buffer as 'rainy day' emergency savings. Set up your RentPay buffer today.

Get up close and personal with your bank statements

Are you unknowingly spending money like it's going out of style? We're talking about those pesky subscriptions, apps, and recurring charges that always seem to sneak up on you. You might not even remember signing up for them, but they're still taking money out of your bank account.

A $5 here and a $10 there might not seem like much, but it adds up to hundreds of dollars each year. So, take a few minutes to cancel those unnecessary expenses and watch your savings grow. You won't miss that gym membership you haven't used in months.

Meal prep your way to savings

Let's face it, life can be hectic, and meal planning might not be at the top of your priority list. But did you know that with just a little bit of planning and preparation, you could save a tonne of money and precious time?

When you're buying lunch daily, it's easy to spend more money than you realise by the end of the week. Imagine cooking up a storm on a lazy Sunday afternoon and having your meals sorted for the entire week. No more rushed lunches and no more takeaway dinners.

By prepping your meals in advance, you can say goodbye to that endless spending cycle and hello to a healthier and wealthier you. So why not give it a try? Your wallet and your stomach will thank you!

Slash your bills and boost your savings

Do you dread your regular grocery shop? Well, it's time to stop overpaying for necessities (and discretionary purchases!) wherever you can.

You might not even realise it, but better deals are out there just waiting for you to snatch them up. RentPay's partnership with Paylab gives free, exclusive access to earn shopping rewards at 140+ top retailers in Australia. You could be saving up to 15% every time you shop!
