We spend a lot of money unknowingly on various products and services that are left unused. Let's look at 5 hidden expenses that quietly drain our wallets. Image: https://www.pexels.com/

Unused subscriptions

Subscribing to different platforms and apps that are rarely used can drain a lot of money. Track your auto-subscriptions and cancel them if not in use. Image: Shutterstock

Bank fees

Charges like ATM withdrawal fees and account maintenance fees add up a large amount over time. Choose zero-fee accounts and track your transactions regularly. Image: Shutterstock

Delivery fees & tips

Delivery fees for food and groceries can quietly add up to your expenses. Opt for subscription plans that offer free deliveries or choose self-pickup when convenient. Image: Shutterstock

Impulsive online buying

Discount offers and flash sales can lead to unnecessary buying. Prioritise your purchases based on necessity to avoid overspending on any product or service. Image: Shutterstock

Unused loyalty points

Loyalty points from shopping, travel, or credit cards can give you more discounts. Track and redeem them timely for discounts or rewards to avoid spending more. Image: Shutterstock
