Here at Dudley Building Society, we are there to help you live a better life, whether you are saving for a rainy day, for a savings goal, or you’re looking for returns on a larger pot of savings.

We’ve partnered with the Building Societies Association (BSA) for the UK Savings Week to provide you with reliable savings support. Our aim is to help you find your ideal way to save, with hints and tips for making the most of your money.

Is now the right time to start saving?

Savings are what you make of them, and they can be both fun and enjoyable. Whether it is for a long awaited purchase or for expected costs such as Christmas gifts. Saving regularly can become a fun challenge and so rewarding when you do reach your goals! 

Saving allows you to feel more in control, especially when dealing with an unexpected situation requiring an emergency fund, or outstanding personal loans or other short-term debts that should be prioritised and paid off as soon as possible.

Remember, saving isn’t just about the amount; it’s about enjoying the process and building the discipline to continue building healthy saving habits.

Saving tips

We know that everyone is different when it comes to saving, so we wanted to provide you with a range of useful tips that you can use in your day-to-day life.

Be Real

Make it aspirational, but reachable and specific, e.g. instead of ‘save for my future’, say ‘Save £3,000 to buy a car by the end of next year’.

Stay Focused

Track your progress, and let yourself feel proud about reaching milestones (e.g. £100, £1000 etc).

Shop Savvy

Shop around for the best deals. Look to make the most of cashback, coupons and vouchers.

Avoid Temptations

Go into situations ready to recognise when you are being tempted to spend.

Be Consistent

Make it regular, so you set a pattern of saving.

Stay Balanced

Find your own balance to make progress in your savings without having to sacrifice all your luxury spending
