About Easy Ways to Save Money
The Directory
Saving money on purchases and expenses is easy, as long as you already know the cheapest and best place to go!
There are thousands of fantastic businesses and products out there that will save you a fortune, give you better value for your money, or give you alternatives that may not have even occurred to you. But finding them can be extremely difficult and time consuming.
The reality is most businesses don’t rate in the first couple of pages of Google, or have lots of money to spend on advertising and marketing. While other businesses in the directory might offer services for something you didn’t even know existed, and how can you save money on something you don’t even know exists?
We love finding these businesses, not only because they save us money, but also because supporting these businesses ensures they stick around and continue to save us money. It’s a win-win situation for everyone!
That’s why we started Australia’s only money-saving business directory, which only lists genuine, value- and money-saving businesses. We do all the research and running around for you, so all you need to do is check the directory first, the next time you want to save money on something. It will save you time, hassle and money.
This is a Consumer Directory - for consumers, so if you ever find a business that saves money or gives you better value for money, please let us know so we can add it to the directory! And if you have used one of the businesses, please leave a comment or testimonial on the business listing page so other people may benefit.
The directory is constantly updated, so make sure to check back regularly!
Please note, the Directory is FREE to use, and FREE to advertise (for selected and approved businesses Only)

Book Review By Tania McCartney from Australian Women Online
Save It opens at probably the most logical startpoint – Dollars and Sense – a chapter which includes budgets and financial goals, banks, credit cards, home loans, insurance and tax. Upon reading the contents of this chapter, I started hyperventillating, yet when I reluctantly began reading the chapter’s content, the throat-gripping titles seemed to melt away into clear, simple and even compelling reading. The information is concise, to the point, written in layspeak and, most importantly – totally do-able. Yes, even by me – a reader whose financial clarity and comprehension is rivalled by my six-year-old.

The Author
Hi, I’m Esta and this is my book, Save It. The book came about after finding myself unexpectedly in a bad financial situation many years ago.
At the time it was a bit like Murphy’s Law ... you know, when everything seems to go wrong at the same time – such as when your washing machine breaks down and several other appliances follow, almost like some sort of whitegoods conspiracy! And that’s exactly what happened, except on a much grander scale. I was pretty good with money and I had a plan B – I even had a plan C if one or two things went wrong. But who really prepares for several things going wrong at the same time? I would have needed plans somewhere further along the alphabet.
I couldn’t stomach the thought of living on home-brand baked beans for the next ten years, slowly chipping away at all our new debts just to try to get back to the financial position we were in originally. And I also wasn’t comfortable sitting out on a ledge feeling like the next thing could very well tip us over.
So I went on an extreme money makeover, doing whatever it took to get us out of debt so we didn’t have to spend a minute longer than we needed to being ‘penny pinchers’, even if that meant calculating electricity and not buying a single new article of clothing. Initially it was depressing, and I felt totally deprived of everything, throwing myself regular Pity Parties.
But soon after, the strangest thing happened, I starting enjoying it! I had a totally new perspective and attitude to money. It was like I had just been on some strange boot camp, or a tacky reality show where they purposely break you down so they can then build you back up again with a completely new and improved perspective, attitude and way of thinking. By the time my money embargo had been lifted and I had money to spend again, I felt financially enlightened. I realised it was actually really easy to save money, and that my prior spending habits were quite often wasteful. I also realised you can have what you want just by thinking about every dollar you spend and making a choice, so you can have your cake and eat it too! I mean, what’s the point of having cake if you can’t eat it anyway?
It really is as simple as challenging the way you think about money, and using the money you have in the best way to live the life you want. I realised I could have the things that were important to me if I was careful enough to save money on the things that weren’t. I no longer care if I have home-brand sugar in my morning coffee, I relish the opportunity to ring around to get a better deal on our insurances to save us hundreds of dollars each year, and I certainly don’t miss walking around shopping centres aimlessly for hours spending my money on things I don’t really need.
Leaving no money-saving stone unturned I now also have a healthy treasure chest full of really easy ways to save money on everyday things that I implement into my everyday life and save a fortune every single year.
Every dollar saved adds up to thousands of dollars each year that I can choose to spend on all the things that are really important or that I do care about. I can put the money on my mortgage, which saves us even more money again. I can spend the extra money on products that are ethical, natural and organic, and I can spend money on things that are more rewarding or simply bring us enjoyment and happiness, even if it’s a diamond-encrusted back scratcher!
Having gone through this experience really changed my life for the better, and knowing there are thousands of people out there struggling to get ahead – just as I was – inspired me to write the book and share the contents of my treasure chest to help other people.
So whether you have some serious debt you need to pay off, want to reach a financial goal, or just want to have more money to spend on the things that are important to you, this book is filled with over 1000 ways to save money, so you can do just that!
Enjoy!

I was lucky enough to win a copy of Esta’s Save It Easy ways to Save Money book a few months ago. I was fascinated by the amount of great money saving ideas in the book. I have already started to put Esta’s ideas into practise and keeping a diary on the money saved. I have saved money on my electricity and phone/internet package already, to the tune of $300 per year. I would never have known about these ideas without reading this book. I now keep it handy and browse it constantly to find new ways of saving money, why give it away if I can save it for myself! The book is great value, great reading, great ideas (that actually work!). I can recommend it to anyone looking for ways to save money. Well done Esta, on a valuable resource in this day and age when we need all the help we can get, and continued good luck with your website and book sales.
