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. You forgot my fave Re-use old Happy Birthday wrapping paper at Xmas by simply adding the word -Jesus

Ok think about where you shop and what you buy do not automatically go for brand names For example Kellogg's say we don't make cornflakes for anyone else what they don't tell you is another company makes them for them cornflakes oats in gresty rd crewe and 😁
Def worth trying own brands some ate better than branded

I've saved £10 this season by not betting on Stoke being promoted. I've broken even so far on my customary 5 quid bet on us to win each match.

Empty Actimel pots painted blue make excellent scale sized water butt’s if you have your Action Man living in a domestic setting.

Check the standby consumption of your electrics. E.g. Our Sky+ box used to cost £30 a year on standby.

If you have Amazon Prime pay monthly subscription switch to yearly (before Sunday I think) to get a year at current price before it goes up.
Or cancel it of course if you don't need it...

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. My daughter is a police officer and told me recently that police will neither pursue nor investigate random drive-off forecourt fuel theft. The reason is that it’s a very easily prevented crime if the fuel companies would invest in pre-pay fuel pumps. In USA I believe most fuel station have these.

Free whisky offer at Tesco…… Go to Tesco, pick up a bottle of a nice single malt whisky and then walk out without paying. If you can outrun the security guard, they let you have it for free.

Go through your bank statement and see if there is anything you can save. I've done this and removed some insurances I just don't need right now.
If you can, move your mobile contracts to sim only as they are far cheaper.
When shopping, create a meal plan for that week and only buy the food you need for that meal plan. Saves you from picking up all sorts off the shelves and spending more. Doing this has saved me £20 a week so far.
Those that bet, just stop for a bit and put that money aside
Get your heating system serviced and ready for winter. It's costs more to run an inefficient system.
Shouldn't really be doing this in 2022 but here we are

Although, things such as the above are things that everyone does anyway, aren’t they? Still good to remind people though.

At the risk of sounding morbid. If you need to make a will and are in a union, some of them offer a free will writing service (e.g. Unison, the National Education Union and the Public and Commercial Services Union).

Fashion a rudimentary harpoon out of things you have lying around in your garage and learn to hunt rats in supermarket carparks and the alleyways behind any remaining takeaways that are not forced out of business due to 'disposable income' not being a thing anymore.
If you get reasonably adept at this practice then Christmas can be saved by substituting the traditional turkey with a 'Three Rodent Roast' served with gutter moss trimmings and the remnants of a half-eaten Freddo* that you sucked off a trucker to obtain as desert.
*2023 RRP £39.99

Don’t buy anything from Costa, McDonalds or any other takeaway. 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. It’s a no brainer, and making a sandwich takes two minutes. All these meal deals and stuff do my head in. They’re shite Spot on, anyone who buys stuff like that hasn't got to worry about money

Become a banker Get uncapped bonuses Get some substantial tax cuts Use new found income to buy up cheap property and pay no stamp duty Charge absurd amount to rent the property or even better, throw it on airbnb to make an even greater passive income. Rinse and Repeat steps 4 and 5 until you can quit being a banker and just be a baron instead.
