Use Wifi: to help you save money use wifi when you can. free wifi is available at many cafes, restaurants, the local library etc. Just remember free wifi is not encrypted like your Home network or mobile data. so dont use it for financial transactions. other people can access this sensitive information to get access to your account, and money.
Avoid using data: When using data hungry apps: Any apps that syncs automatically when you connect to mobile data or wifi. Streaming/Watching Video, music/audio online, social media posting. etc. Make sure any apps are set to sync on wifi.

Use Mobile Websites: When you need to go online make sure you are accessing mobile friendly websites, these Websites use less data and and are optimised for mobile display, formats etc. check your mobile browser settings to display single column view or mobile version.
Close apps when finished using them: Often times an application will be still running in the background using data or battery. to make sure the apps are properly turned off press the back button until the app has closed. Using the Home button may not always shut down the app. use your mobiles task manager or install one from app store. so you can easily check what apps are running in the background.
Check app permissions: When installing an application on your phone check what permissions it requires, these are the default setting sand some can be turned off in the app itself. Your mobile may have a way to view the applications permissions in the settings.
