- run on veg oil £60 a month
- replace Sky with Netflix £30 a month versus £3.99 a month £26 a month
- take packed lunches/jars of coffee to work £60 a month
- don't buy pet food from a supermarket, buy it from a pet food wholesaler. 15kg of complete dog food for £10.25 £30 a month
- if you pay to park near work, have a drive around. 10 minutes extra walk a day saves me £3.50 a day, and its exercise £70 a month
- join a discount warehouse like Costco, not just for SVO (£14.99 for 20 litres), I get 12 cans of Monster for £7 and I got a 42 inch Sharp smart HD TV for £350 Hard to work out but a fair few quid each month
What Chris says about butchers and farm shops is right, the meat is about the same price but FAR better and doesn't shrink as much, I get 2lb of mince, 1lb of steak, 2lb of chicken breast and a few other bits and pieces like sausages and burgers for £25...

Look at it this way mate, add up the savings I make (not including Costco) and that's £246 a month. I can go for a beer 3 nights a week and take my lass for a meal at the weekend with that money, but if I didn't own my house way I'd look at it would be 2 years of that and that's a deposit for a house, or a few holidays, or a Skyline GT-R...
Saving for the sake of it is pointless, you need a reason for it to make sense. Fancy a Skyline Danny?
