Ok any savings you have spotted place here for others to do
Ok 1st one from me if you shop at Iceland
On the app this month if you top up 100 you get 15 at Christmas from Nov 23 till dec 23 put on your card sounds alot but have talked to customer service if you pre load your card with the amount you are going to speed anyway and instead of paying with cash or credit card but use the money on your bonus card 100 is easy you also get 1 for every 20 put on so technically 20 for doing nothing so 20 percent saving

Great idea this, I'll chip in with Cafe Nero - 25% off barista made drinks and cakes/pastries with the meerkat meals app, app generates a code twice a day & you just scan it at the till, just saved me a fiver at lunch.
& If anyone hasn't got the meerkat app yet & thinks you need to take out a pricey insurance policy to get it, I did a 1 day travel insurance quote to the Isle of Wight, cost me £1.15 & as well as the Nero discount, it gives you half price meals & cinema tickets for a year 👍😃

Same goes for supermarket meal deals. Make stuff yourself. For example, you can buy a pack of 8 latte sachets from Lidl for 75p. It’s a very nice brew. Every bit as good as Costa. Make your own sandwiches. Way cheaper than meal deals. Much tastier too. And fresher. Also, you can make burger and chips for 4 for the price of one McDonalds meal. And far better quality too. |

Don't buy shit that you don't need just to keep up with the Jones's . Cancel subscriptions to things like YouTube premium, take it on the chin and watch the adverts, you can skip them after ten seconds or so anyway . Don't let your car insurance auto renew and put an older driver on the policy as a named driver , usually brings your policy price down. Dont leave the lights on if you aren't in the room. Walk to the shop instead of driving, saves fuel . Have a shower at work after your shift , saves water .
Common sense stuff really

I always take those NY Coffee 3 in 1 sachets with me on holiday (B&M and Home Bargains do them). They don't need sweetener or milk (you can get them without sweetener too) and they taste as good as anything from a coffee shop. And I know if I've had a shit cup of coffee. |

Do HelloFresh send you the ingredients? Hello fresh etc ridiculously dear It’s not if you do the 4 week introductory offer then quit. After a couple of weeks they send another offer. It works out about £3 a meal at that point. But if you fully subscribe it soon escalates. So yeh in a way it’s a rip off but as long as you keep stringing it along it’s good value and nice food. They just don’t change the menu enough |

Batch cook and freeze. The ovens on for a couple of hours then you have 6 or more meals for next 3 weeks.
When using the oven switch it off 10 minutes or so before cooking time is up. The oven stays hot for ages after switching off and is wasted heat.
Leave nothing on standby if at all possible.
Chargers left on but unplugged from appliance still uses electricity because the transformer is still working.
Slow cooker is much more economical than oven.
Simple stuff like only boiling enough water in kettle that you need.
LED lbulbs throughout the house is a no brainer
Don’t have TV on out of habit. Listen to radio Greatest Hits Radio in the evening is well recommended. I love Jackie Brambles.

Anyone with 3 mobile (or those with anyone else really), take a look at smarty mobile, same company/signal/coverage etc just cheaper deals plus they still include EU roaming in your package.
Currently doing 50gb for £10 a month & occasionally have offers that up it to 100gb for a tenner.
Once with them you can refer a friend/family member & you both get a free month. They can then refer & get another etc, etc.I'm partway through switching the whole family & haven't paid anything for months ! 👍

Remember
Beat before is just that ignore it its only talking about quality most have shelf lives years later
On use by you have at least 3 days on product as a time period is built in to stop legal action
Lidl do a 150 box of fruit and veg box but these are limited and usually first thing in the morning
Morrisons I believe do a wobbly range alot cheaper
And check your local market some great bargains

When filling your car up at the petrol station, simply drive off once you're done.
This handy tip will save you the entire cost of the fuel you've put into your vehicle.

I know it sounds stupid but I have started to think about these things;
If you are making two cups of instant coffe, only put two and a bit cups of water in the kettle and TURN IT OFF BEFORE IT BOILS.
May only be a few pence over 12Months but better in our pockets than the money grabbing energy companies.

Some viz favourites
Only use the loo at work. Not only will you save money on toilet paper, but you'll also be getting paid.
Save money at Christmas by returning last year's cards to the sender with the simple inscription "Same to you".
DON'T waste money on expensive iPods. Simply think of your favourite tune and I hum it. If you want to "switch tracks", simply think of another song you like and hum that instead.
Take one grape to the till. It won't register on the low-tech, insensitive scales so you will get it for free. Repeat this procedure 100 times or so and you have yourself a free bunch of grapes.
Save a fortune on your laundry bills. Give your dirty shirts to Oxfam. They will wash and iron them and you can then buy them back for fifty pence.
