What’s Thrift Day and why a Thrifty Lifestyle matters now more than ever


World Thrift Day is celebrated on the 31st of October and the whole month is commonly referred to as Thrift Month.

Being thrifty is all about saving money and, creating awareness about the importance of saving, is what Thrift Day is all about.

With the cost-of-living escalating, every little saving can help. And, that’s just the spirit we’re promoting this thrift month; a thrifty lifestyle! Savings are to be had everywhere if you look for opportunities and new ways of cutting down your expenses or getting the same or more for less.

Savings are important on both an individual and a national level. A nation of savers is a nation that is financially secure and able to withstand shocks well. This goes for individual savers too.

So, this Thrift Month, let’s all try to see how and where we can save money and be thrifty. And the best way to make your life effortlessly thrifty is to use FriMi’s various thrifty features!


FriMi’s Thrifty Tools


At FriMi, we make being thrifty effortless with our various savings tools. These are innovative, new and even fun ways to save. Take Savings Pots, for example. You can put away money into a savings pot so it doesn’t show in your main balance, meaning that you’re not tempted to spend it. It’s kept away for something else.


With Round-Up Savings, you’ll save every time you spend, by rounding up your payment to the nearest LKR 50, 100, or 500 and putting that away into your Round-Up Savings. And, before you know it, you’ll have a huge bit of savings kept ready for you in an emergency.

Another way to save with FriMi is Bucket List. Here, you’re putting money away towards some goal you want to achieve or thing you want to do in life. It could be education, travel, a big purchase, or anything. And you commit a certain amount each month. Before you know it, you can tick that item off your bucket list.

So, remember to use FriMi’s effortless thrifty tools to Save today for an Effortless tomorrow!
