Money saving tips for Sweden

TheLocal, the online english language news site for Sweden, released a helpful list of money saving tips during these economic downtimes. They mentioned some great ideas such as streaming music sites, like Spotify, VoIP services like Skype, biking and keeping on top of deals from grocery stores, movie theaters, and travel sites.

The missed a few though!

Some additional ideas specifically for mobile users are below:

First, check with your mobile company about possible flat rate data plans. Most operators offer them, but you need to do a little research to find the plan best for you.

Second, "upgrade" your handset to have smartphone-like features with services like Momail. Momail is smart mobile email for consumers - free to use, minimizes the data cost of incoming data, and works on the large majority of handsets in the market today.

Third, leverage other cost-saving measures, like calling with services such Jajah which leverage VoIP to minimized long distance bills. It's super easy to use with Momail as well - just go to "On Demand" services in your Momail account to sign up.
