As the pound falls faster than an escorts knickers and the price of condoms gets ever stiffer we thought it may help if we share some money saving tips.

Here's one...Oral b electric tooth brush heads are expensive to replace! Amazon are selling comparable replacements 4 heads £2.50 free postage!

Who's next with a tip!

Comfort fragrance balls are a fiver in asda and tesco but £2.25 in b&m

Groupon have an offer on the micro pedi and micro nail buffer thing. Think you can get both for 14 quid.

one tip i read and have used and passed on - very good if you have a large family - the embroidered name labels for uniform etc - if you get them printed - a. b. c. smith ( insert relevent initial ) - then just fold in the unneeded ones when sewing them into clothes - these i think are quite dear for a small number but very quickly become cheap for a large amount - ok only save a few quid but it all helps

Why put you saving in a tin, put it in a bank and get some interest.

When I was in Asda at the weekend buying toothpaste, I noticed the brush heads had gone from the oral b demo tooth brushes. Don't buy new brush heads, pinch them from the demo tooth brushes. We seen them on offer in Asda and bought a load ages ago.

With all the fakes about on the internet, the tooth brush heads could be doing more harm then good.

We shop in Asda, we have an Asda credit card which gives 1% on all items bought in Asda, George & Asda petrol stations, it also give 0.5% back on money spent else where.

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.

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.

Ladies, buy packs of cheap knickers, wear them for one day and them sell them...

You sell the knickers for more than you paid for them, at the the same time you are saving water, electricity and washing powder...

Put cornflakes in your tyres; your neighbours will think you have a gravel drive.

Buy a shaggy dog. Brush it regularly. Save the hair. Spin it into yarn and knit your own sweaters.

Save money on holidays by buying 50 kg of sand, spread it on your floor, turn up the heating full blast, borrow a sun lamp, buy several crates of shit spanish beer, lay on the sand and drink beer for a week.

Apparently the microwave is the cheapest way to cook your food then the hob on the stove slow cookers are good to depending on time limits thou 8 hours to cook some meals is not for everyone and left unattended I certainly would,t do times vary and settings obviously but you can still save with them, and dishwashers on a full cycle will cost more than doing your pots yourself in one bowl of hot water and washing up liquid a dishwasher cycle at that setting use,s about 6/9 bowls of hot water pleased I don,t have one now..

Buy things from charity shops. I've never been better dressed and our home has original and quirky furniture and art in it.

Cook from scratch.

Stop exchanging Christmas and birthday gifts and cards with people you don't like or see.

Use the library.

Don't be fooled in to thinking big price tag = better on face creams and cosmetics.

It's only money though and totally useless unless you do something with it.

"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...

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.

My dad's top money saving tip which he claims will also help you lose weight is make stew then dilute by half with water.

Bless his heart he's still the same waist size at 90 that he was at 20, 32 inches so he's never needed to diet in his life.

You can also download ebooks and talking books and magazines from the library service. Thereby saving shoe leather since there's no need to even leave your house. Although if you read in the library you don't need to heat your home

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.

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.

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.

shpock is good, i've sold stuff on there, all profit belongs to me.

any car boot sale app is probably good. over price your stuff though coz a lot of people try to barter and pay less.

gumtree is pretty creepy if you're into that. i get guys asking if i'm single or asking if i've worn the clothes, or asking me to send pics of me wearing them (which i might do for a fee haha).

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.

it's pretty dead in my area at times on shpock. just put stuff on every site going if you can (i did), get a feel for the sites themselves and which are best for you.

ask for money for the pics first, time is money. otherwise you'll get people who only want free pics and wasting your time. even if it's only a £1 paypal gift that you charge, you'll at least know they genuine or feel less messed about if they had no intention of buying.

Close your curtains to help keep heat in.

If you book a hotel direct, check you are protected by Abta of similar.

After you have cooked a meal in the oven, turn it off and leave the door open to take advantage of the heat build up, same for a bath, leave it to go cold before pulling the plug.

If you are ever going out or looking to buy something, check the voucher code websites.

Use second hand shops in expensive areas to get high quality bargains...

Us too. My mum used to feel cold so she would put coats on our beds while we were asleep whether we were cold or not. I often woke up with my dad's huge overcoat on my bed unable to move it was so heavy

Don't buy condoms ... just take a handful from the free clinic.

When going to clubs or participating in gangbangs , use 1 condom all night.

Just make sure to turn it inside out after ever new person.

If a lady insisted you change condoms before you have sex with her, just ask a guy waiting for his turn behind you for a condom.

He will always say yes because he doesn't want to break the flow.

Not meeting

The penny a day works out at @£13 per week.

I gave up my morning latte last year & used the money for my brothers wedding (hotel, new outfits & shoes x 3, haircuts etc).

We save £2 coins. It took me 3.5 yrs but took the kids to Greece last summer.

So far we've bought an air tent, a porch & a cadac for camping (using some Xmas money too) & we're off to Tenerife in the summer.

Bulk cook - if the oven's on you might as well fill it - & freeze.

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.

"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.

It's called "Money saving ideas" not "How to get a criminal record and fuck up the rest of your live to save a little bit of money" "

There is nothing criminal about what I just posted... it's called great customer service....

Ohh and don't repeat this a same restaurants and pubs

it's nice, if you like not wearing shoes. i even go to the shop without them on sometimes, if i have a day out of town my shoes are off asap.

try grass first, natural things feel better than roads. have a good squish of things between your toes when you can too, like wet sand or mud.

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.

One for the ladies.....don't waste money on expensive vibrators,make your own by catching some bees n placing them in an empty cigar tube.

Give it a shake to get them buzzing for that full power feeling!

Shamelessly stolen from Viz top tips!
