Other Ways To Save

If you live in Asheville, NC, you have a multitude of activities and entertainment right outside your front door. You can see a concert every night at the Orange Peel, eat out at one of the many culinary hot spots, or go on whitewater rafting excursions every summer.

Asheville has a lot of fun experiences to offer, but paying for those experiences can be tough when you don’t have a savings account.

Opening a First Bank savings account is a great way to start saving, but there are other things you can do to cut down your spending and put even more money away for a rainy day, including:

  • Try cooking over the campfire or grilling out in your own backyard. You’ll get to enjoy the beautiful outdoors, spend time with your family, and save money on food.
  • Try river tubing for a low-cost, relaxing experience. River tubing can cost you as little as $20 a person.
  • Try walking around and finding your new favorite street performer or visit a few art galleries. You can often find a street performer on every corner in downtown Asheville, and there are plenty of galleries full of works by talented local artists. Who knows? You might just discover the next big thing in music or art!

First Bank in Asheville has 6 different savings account options. To learn more about our banking services or open an account, visit a First Bank branch near you.

How Your Healthy-Eating Resolution Saves Calories and Money To get tips on mindful eating and spending, we talked with Jessica Thiefels, a full-time blogger and ACE Certified Personal Trainer, as well as an NASM Certified Fitness Nutrition specialist and the owner of her own personal training business, Honest Body Fitness in San Diego. If you made a resolution to eat healthier this year and need a boost to keep going, get excited because it turns out you’ll save a lot more than a few extra calories. You Eat Out Less Often The top expense for most people is eating out. In fact, 2014 data reveals the average American spends $232 per month eating food prepared outside the house.

By planning your healthy meals for the week, you waste less and save more. Vegetables Are Versatile Vegetables are not only some of the cheapest items in the grocery store, but they can be used in so many ways.
