How to Use This Printable Budget Sheet
Print the sheet below and fill it in at the start of each week. Write down your income first, then list your bills, food shopping, transport, family costs, and any extra spending. At the end of the week, check what you actually spent and see how much you were able to save.
The goal is not to be perfect. The goal is to become more aware of your spending and make small improvements every week.

Simple Tips to Save Every Week
Once you have filled in your budget sheet, look for one or two areas where you can cut back. This might be reducing takeaway meals, planning food shopping before you go, cancelling something you no longer use, or setting a spending limit for non-essential purchases.
Try putting your savings aside as soon as you receive your income, even if it is only a small amount. Saving little and often can make a big difference over time.
