- Restrict the supply of treats, such as takeaways, cinema and nights out to once a month/fortnight
- If you use coupons, ONLY use the ones you would use normally, else you end up with a cupboard full of expensive crap that you'll never use
- Learn sewing, darning, knitting, plumbing, electricals, carpentry, and anything else you can learn which means you don't have to throw something away yet or pay someone else to fix it
- or ra*e the overtime, I've earned almost £1500 extra in the last 2 weeks through being bored enough to do overtime and you cant spend money so fast when your at work and not bored.
- very true, god i love a takeaway 10 times more these days now i cant afford them.
- this is very true, also the 3 for 2 deals on fruit and veg and other perishables in the supermarket are only any use if you can eat them before they go off which for the larger deals most people cant.
- I'm ashamed to admit that I can sew relatively well, saves me a fortune sometimes.
4th catergory for clothes though - Unwearable - but don't throw them away, they make great rags for cleaning up oil spills.
