One of the ways people manage their finances during times of economic uncertainty is to focus on saving a few dollars wherever possible. We watch ads, we tighten our budgets, and we keep tucking away whatever we can into our rainy-day fund.
Our partners at Kasasa also offer a few tips to help us keep watching our nest egg grow. For example, avoid impulse purchases by waiting 24 hours to make any expensive, nonessential purchases (and if they’re online, you may receive a promo code or better pricing if you leave something sitting in a cart for a day or two).
Another simple practice is designate one day a week as a “no spend” day. Kasasa also gives you a few tips to save money at the grocery store like bringing your own music with you. And if you’ve been busy spring cleaning during the past few months, you might want to consider some tips from Kasasa for selling you stuff online.
If you have a Kasasa account, you already know one great way to earn a little extra money each month. If you’d like to pocket some extra cash, open a Kasasa Cash Back® checking account, or convert your current Dakota West checking account to take advantage of the benefits of a Kasasa account. Call us at 800.411.7590, email us at dwcu@dakotawestcu.org, or start a new membership with Dakota West and Ask for Kasasa®.
