With these 12 smart spending strategies, you’ll still be able to treat yourself while learning to be financially responsible.  

Buy Discounted Gift Cards for Big Purchase

If you’re going to make a big purchase like a new TV or laptop, consider buying a discount gift card to save money! 

Shop Through Cash-back App

Back in your parent’s day, there were coupons. Today there are cash-back apps. So whether you’re buying work clothes, new electronics, or stuff for your apartment, these apps help your graduation money go further by giving you a portion of your total sale back.

Keep Control Over Your Spending

While $1,847 is a lot of money, it can be gone before you know it if you’re not careful. Research has found that people tend to overspend when using debit or credit cards.

Set Yourself Up to Cook at Home

Now that your college meal plan is gone, you’re going to find that food will be one of your three biggest expenses. The average American spends over $200 a month eating out!

Consider a Season or Annual Pass

Are you a frequent visitor to an amusement park, museum, ski resort, or board game cafe? Consider buying an annual pass instead of sporadic day tickets to save money over the course of a year.
