"Any ideas I am all ears "Cooking is a big one. Invest in a chest freezer. Pre prepare bulk meals such as chilli, curry, mashed potato, then freeze as portions. Turn down the heating. Do it gradually, I've got a sweat on right now and my house thermostat is set at 17 degrees. Turn off anything on standby - it's easy, If your hot water tap is running too hot and you need to mix cold water with it, then you're wasting money. Hope that helps. | |||

"Sell your kids stuff. Like sell stuff they own or make them purchase stuff from us?" Both. Unless their income is solely pocket money then just sell their stuff. Or them. Whatever. | |||

"Lidl, Aldis and charity shops are the places to go. Drink water cold or boiled in stead of coffee and juice. " Good advice. I have a flask for my morning exercise walks. | |||
"Be a supermarket vulture and hang around for the yellow labels " I love the yellow labels ! I got steaks reduced from £6.50 for £1.68 earlier this week How they came to £1.68 as a sale price is beyond me but wow! A bargain Now I have to buy chips and mushrooms and peas to cook with them! | |||

"Check everything you have a yearly contract for that you just auto renew. Move your broadband, move your energy, move your phone, take advantage of all the New Customer bullshit, don't sit there paying full price if you haven't upgraded your phone etc. If you have credit card debt, get a balance transfer card and save on interest (and use the saving to pay it off, don't treat it as free money of you'll be in a worse position when your free rate runs out) Have a good think about your subcriptions. Amazon Prime. Sky TV. Netflix. Gym. Spotify. Do you need them? Why not bin them and try free trials on other services? Never buy a Costa, buy a decent travel mug/flask and take your own. Make sure your tyres are inflated properly! An extra 4% efficiency might not seem like much, but if that's worth £3 a tank and you do 3 tanks a month, that's over £100 right there. Turn your heating off, not down. You've loads of jumpers, wear one. Shower at the gym not home. Look up the app Too Good to Go and get some bargain supermarket food and restaurant takeouts." B’jesus… you have really got this nailed down Do you want to come and live with me and my girlfriend? You would totally be able to save us more than Greg Wallace ever could with his “ buy supermarket labels” advice  | |||

Learn to cook from scratch -saves money & is miles healthier with less fat, salt, sugar & additives and saves a lot on takeaways. Part worn tyres - these are all the ones the garage tells folk they need new ones for mot etc when they dont, all are above legal limit too. 20-30 per tyre balance & means no virgin rubber from forests. Buy furniture from charity shops - saves money & saves on raw materials elsewhere in globe + helps folk Reduce milage on insurance, see if a specialist insurance is available i.e 4x4 or classic. Some car forums also give registered members up to 25% discount...plus lots of info about common issues and how to sort them yourself. Fix car yourself saves £45 ph+ if you got the time. Most is bolt on so little skill needed Vs likes of welding. Turn things off at plug socket if not in use...it still allows energy flow through it if you don't, called ghost energy. Turn lights off when not in room. Pets can see in dark, just fine. Use standard definition instead of high definition - saves energy. Plant own food, can be in pots or a indoor tent, or in garden if you have one. Travel tea cup - mine keeps warms for about 2 hrs & most places will rinse & refill so less waste too. Meat is expensive & we are eating too much of it anyho, cutting it out couple of times a week, saves money & healthier too. Don't buy stuff you don't need like latest fashions, trends (like colour schemes in house), gadgets you don't need like wireless everything actually cost more in long run cos now you got to charge 2 things not 1 (earphones & phone) and your battery drains faster too with Bluetooth on. | |||

"Shower at the gym Doesnt gym membership cost more than running a shower?
My gym membership is £16 a month. "A 10 minute shower under a 10kw electric shower is a tenner a month. If you can replace 1 in 3 showers you’ve saved £40 a year. It’s the little things, marginal savings that add up, looking after the pennies… | |||
