"I'm currently saving for a holiday so have stopped doing a weekly shop as I tend to buy stuff because it's in front of me and end up wasting it and instead do it daily/every other day and only buy what I need or what's on offer, saves money and less waste. Take my lunches every day instead of eating out at least 3 times a week. Stopped getting a weekly travel card and do it just pay as you go as I didn't need them zones at the weekend which saves a bit also. " Never shop for food when you're hungry. | |||

" My dad had glaucoma so I get the free tests but it's only when your over 40 and I did also get a letter off the NHS asking me what my dad's name was address and dob but I've not heard of anyone else having to prove who they was related to so maybe I just look dodgy | |||

"Dont buy chain shop coffees at nearly £3 a go. Get a thermal mug, make your own. Too and from work. Easy way to.save £50 a month. " I've started doing this. I was having a large latte from McDonalds at £1.89 a go. Works out I save £40ish a month. £40 now goes in a jar & will cover everything we need for my brother's wedding in August (hotel, clothes etc) | |||

""When bananas turn brown, don't throw them away. Cut them in half, push in a stick and freeze them, then you can give your children delicious healthy treats during the long hot days of summer." . . This was an actual tip from a good housekeeping mag my mum had several millennia ago. If you did this these days you'd have social services on your back in an instant. " It's a good one. The frozen banana is like ice cream. Alternatively, use it in your nutribullet to make a smoothie without having to add ice/ice-cream etc. | |||
