So following a discussion with another member on Facebook the other night and us both being utterly skint we ended up sharing money saving tips I reckon we can get a few more ideas here.
Always pick up the Tesco magazine, it has money off coupons in it and its worth a read while your having a shit.
Hunt down the back of the sofa for change (especially if its a second hand one)
Go to a butchers or farm shop for your meat, its a similar price to the supermarket but as its not so full of fat and water it goes further so you can use less.
Lift the center console of your 306, there is always change in there, had almost £3 out of my current one.
Always keep your supermarket vouchers for stuff like fuel even if you wont use them, I gave my last 5p off a liter one to a colleague from work and got a 50p of your next shop one back off him, win win situation.
Alot of the cheap supermarket foods aren't bad, Tesco value rice pudding tastes the same as ambrosia and has less calories and the Creamfields milk is exactly the same but nearly a third cheaper and often has a longer shelf life.
Get to know the time your local supermarket starts reducing food and go in just afterwards for the best choice. Tesco and the BP/M&S stores are both 4pm but if your a real blagger go in just before midnight just as they are about to take it off the shelf and ask if they'll do a stupid cheap price to save it going to waste
Oh and its ALWAYS worth going through the reduced shelves and digging right to the back as there is some immense bargains to be had sometimes.
