A SAVVY woman has revealed her top three tips to save money.
Lara Joanna Jarvis is a mum to two young sons with her partner Stuart and thanks to her incredible money-saving skills, the family were able to buy their dream home in no time back in 2019.
So it’s safe to say she knows a thing or two about cutting corners and saving some extra cash.
In a bid to share her knowledge, Lara took to her social media account, where she posted a short video full of tips.
“Here are four money habits to save hundreds, if not thousands, this year,” she told viewers.
Dressed in a pink T-shirt with her blonde hair styled straight down to frame her face, she continued: “Turn off pay auto fills.

“So you have to get off your back to go and get your card to buy the thing… Chances are you won’t do it.”
TikTok user @lara.joanna.jarvis then suggested people use a Google Chrome extension for voucher codes and cashback to “do all the hard work for you”.
Lara went on to explain that having a “no spend period” can be wildly beneficial, even if it’s just for a weekend.
“These money habits all add up,” she shared as the video came to an end.

Lara first found fame on YouTube thanks to her budgeting tips and tricks, where she revealed she saved £25,000 in one year by buying no luxuries and spending money on only essential purchases.
She’s previously spoken exclusively with Fabulous magazine to share tips on how to save £30,000 in a year, five grand more than she did.
Lara said during the year of 2019, she bought no dinners out, no clothes, no coffees and more.
And while it may seem daunting at first, it “totally changed my life” as it completely changed her spending habits “for good”.
She also shared a list of things you should definitely purchase to save you money in long run.
For example, if you spend £25 on a gel manicure every three weeks it will cost you £433 a year in upkeep.
However, a gel nail set would initially cost you as little as £20, saving you £413 over the year.
Equally, having your eyebrows tinted and waxed will set you back around £20, equivalent to £347 a year.
