Our tips to find money
I wrote this post with how to find lost money, get unclaimed money and a few other options. One reader found $20,000 in lost super, another found $2,000 for their brother in unclaimed money.
Sign up for cash back programs
The two most useful ones for me have been Cash Rewards and PricePal. You join for free, download the apps and add the extension to your browser. Whenever you shop online they’ll let you know if there is a cash back option or discount you can apply. It saves small amounts here and there which add up!
Coupons and discounts
Australia does have coupons and ways to get discounts. Check out our 10 ways here. Also, sign up for these VIP and loyalty clubs to get more.
