"1. Dont spent out on costly porcelin. Half an egg shell painted white. Makes a less expensive urinal for your male pet hamsters. 2, change expensive rowing oars by glueing tennis rackets to the end of a broom stick. This also makes rowing a lot easier." Have you considered using stale bread as a tea coaster? | |||

"material possessions." Is that them ghosts that look like a sheet? or are they possessed material Serious money saver tip, look at any subscription offerings with great suspicion... Phones... do you really use x "free" minutes or y included texts? TV do you actually watch the subscription channel's? etc. My son is struggling financially but paying out £150 a month on his family's mobile contracts... | |||

"Use the library." This one. It's like FREE books! You can order any books they dont have for very little money, read them, give 'em back (on time is also good) and at the end of the day your house isn't all cluttered up with books. Well, ok, less cluttered then. | |||

"Get a smart meter fitted we have halved our leccy bill over this last year..turn things off and see the saving.." Only filling the kettle with the water you need is quite a big saver. But this is one that gets my goat, used to live with a girl who would randomly turn lights off around the house. You just nipped to the loo, come back light would be off, for what, two fekking minutes? (energy saving lightbulbs cost about a penny a DAY to run.) She would then fill the kettle to the top, boil it and only make a brew for herself. | |||

"save a whopping £147 a year by not having a tv licence " this is a good one...telly is shite anyhow so who needs that in their lives? spend less on shit we don't need, new wardrobes/clothes and other rubbish, swap branded goods for white goods, no meals out, no takeaways, no booze, no fancy gadgets and other crap, go for a cheap phone or like me get rid of it altogether, get a smaller car, check what deals are available for gas/electricity providers or find a spark willing to hop your meter. plant some food in your garden instead of a wasting it on plot of grass. we can all live on a smaller budget than we do if we really need to easily enough. | |||

"keeping your router switched on at night apparently costs £21 + pence a year to do I,d switch mine off but if you do it disables Internet connections like catch up which is dissapointing I,m wondering if its worth it or not.. You must have a very strong signal then... the BT Broadband router Which is quite typical in design costs just over £6 a year to leave switched on 24/7, I use a virgin cable modem and use my own wifi router, my running costs for both work out at under £13 per year." It was a quote from the daily telegraphs power saveing page on line dated from last week, if the bt router costs just £6 a year to have on I,m not sure of the kind of routers their talking about in the telegraph. | |||

"One which is relevant to swingers - stop booking your hotel rooms through travel agencies! They aren't the cheapest option - it's nearly always cheaper to book directly through the hotel and if it appears not, call them and most of the time they will price match and throw in an upgrade or something else." Or free cooked breakfast. | |||

"1. Dont spent out on costly porcelin. Half an egg shell painted white. Makes a less expensive urinal for your male pet hamsters. 2, change expensive rowing oars by glueing tennis rackets to the end of a broom stick. This also makes rowing a lot easier. Have you considered using stale bread as a tea coaster? if the tea spills you can eat the bread as a tasty tea flavoured snack also. It's winning all around. don't have kids is my next tip. You can always try and put them back." The fuckers keep coming back | |||

"You buy furniture. You tell yourself, this is the last sofa I will ever need in my life. Buy the sofa, then for a couple years you're satisfied that no matter what goes wrong, at least you've got your sofa issue handled. Then the right set of dishes. Then the perfect bed. The drapes. The rug. Then you're trapped in your lovely nest, and the things you used to own, now they own you." I am Jack's liver... This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time... | |||

"I don't know if these work in the U.K. But they work in the USA.... Whenever I order something online , I always call when it arrives and say it's missing a part. They usually ship me another one free of charges. So I use the second one as a gift for someone. I did this during Christmas with Alexa from Amazon. When I go out with a lady friend and there is candle with a flame on our table , after 2-3 drinks I tell her to burn a tip of her hair enough so people can see it. Usually the manager will buy all or drinks for free all night. But we always tip the wait staff very big . If you go to a restaurant and if the waiter/waitress doesn't ask if anyone has a peanut allergy . Always order the Thai salad with your meal. Then once you started eating tell the manager you are allergic to peanuts and you didn't know the salad contained nuts. You will get half or the whole meal for free. Just make sure you tip the wait staff big like $100-150. " From Amazon I ordered two packs of good quality AA size batterys that had been reduced in price in the post I recieved one pack of AA batterys and one pack of AAA batterys I contacted them afterwards and they casually said if your not happy with the AAA batterys just send them back well quite Innocently I said I,d keep them they were happy with this I was even happier a short time later because I recieved another pack of batterys from them and this time they were AA,s no more was said my first ever Items from Amazon to it was certainly a lucky win win win occasion one you never forget. | |||

Ohh and don't repeat this a same restaurants and pubs " Its not called 'great' customer service, Its recieving customer service for douchey behavior. It might not be criminal, but its a little bit fookin shadey! So my money saving tip is to all small business owners, and its keep their eyes peeled for you. | |||
