Kathryn religiously uses loyalty cards. She claims that you can use coupons, earn points, and save money on purchases without having to do anything. Her focus is on maximizing grocery loyalty cards to receive amazing discounts and freebies. Kathryn is a great fan of meal prep.

According to her, all it takes is whipping up a storm of food once or twice a week after which your meals will be ready anytime you go hungry. Yes, it requires some preparation work up front, but after that, you'll have meals for an entire week prepared. It also saves you a ton of money and time. Takeouts cost big on the pockets too, Kathryn mentions how much people spend on takeouts—almost $1200 in 6 months which can be better utilized if one learns to meal prep. 

When it comes to eating out, Kathryn's got some wisdom to share. She knows we all love a good meal out, but she says resisting can be rewarding in the long run. Instead of eating out all the time, she suggests budgeting for it every now and then. That way, you still get to enjoy dining out without burning a hole in your wallet. Kathryn also shares which shops have the best deals. Her viewers were happy when in one of her videos she shared a comparison of prices between Aldi and M&S.

Recently, she also shared how students can save money and utilize the opportunities available to them. She suggested the students make the best use of the perks and rewards available to them. She encourages students to go and ask about student discounts wherever possible guilt-free as no one shares them openly and they also differ from state to state. Kathryn urges students to go and check open days for the freebies available to students. She says they might never have to buy stationery again. Along with this, she shares how thrifting clothes and swapping them can be such a money saver. This helps students to get their hands on the latest fashion without spending the big bucks.
