Many Pinoys have been hit hard by the rising fuel prices happening all over the world. As a lot of workers now transition to an office-based job, many are left with no choice but to spend on gas to power their vehicles.
If you don’t own a car, the goods and services that rely on fuel also increase in prices. Everyday products like groceries, utilities, and many more are also increasing in prices as a result. Being affected by high gas prices is almost uncontrollable. But, that doesn’t mean you can’t save!
Here are handy tricks to save money amid rising fuel prices.
Take advantage of loyalty cards
Major gasoline companies like Shell, Caltex, and Unioil have loyalty cards that can offer you discounts if you reach certain points. Some companies also have tie-ups with different banks, which can give you discounts or cashback.
Convert shopping rewards to fuel
SM, Robinsons, Landers, and S&R give you discount vouchers upon minimum spending on your grocery. You can also use their membership shopping cards and earn extra rewards. Most of all, you can redeem your rewards points into discounts to fill up your gas tank.
Bike or walk as much as possible
Are you running a quick errand in the nearby supermarket or wet market? Skip the car for walking or riding a bike. This doesn’t just save you on your fuel expenses but is also a great way to live a healthier lifestyle.
Lower your energy consumption
As mentioned, the prices of utilities are affected by gas. Be intentional and set a schedule when using common appliances like a washing machine, air-conditioner, and other appliances. If you have an extra, switch to energy-saving appliances too which can save you more in the long run.
Buy generic products instead of branded ones
Generic products like unbranded sugar, cooking oil, among other grocery items can be just as great quality. As you don’t have to pay for the brand, they are more affordable, saving you heaps of money moving forward.
