HI all,
Now before you all think i'm nuts, please read it and try ,,,,
I'm trying to make cut back's to help pay the Mortgage,
And coming up with idea's that will help spend less,,
Ok this is my first tip,,,,
Olive Oil
I now have replaced my expensive body lotion with it!!!
Now i know your looking at this thinking twit,,
But try it after your shower before you dry bet you after two day's you wil be thanking me,,
Its amazing and for some really odd reason helps keep you warm, this is bizzare i agree but hay its working and cheap,
Now tip 2, Olive oil, (yep pattern forming here) Use it on dry hair brush it into your hair scalp to tips of the end's then go to bed,,,, (make sure you sleep on towel)
Then haypresto in morning after shower your hair feel's great and is very clean and shines like mad,,
Now before you all mock me give it a go,
Ok tip over ,,,, anyone else have any money saving tips to share?

Stop buying daily newsapapers , just buy weekend ones for Tv programmes . I`ve put the money in a jar -already have saved over 8 pounds, Ros x

Run down the chocolate aisle in supermarkets.

NO NO NO
Thats a terrible idea,
I can give up the newspaper,
But Chocolate,, How can you even think it,,
I'm trembling at the thought,

make all students eat beans ...........

save parents hundreds

Surprisingly I don`t miss the paper , watch news on TV or check on line

Yea Kemp & they could supply us all with gas :)

Yeh but they will charge us more for Suppling us with Gas than the big companys,,,
Or is that just my teenager?

Valid point Paula-there's always a catch..lol

put more veg on your plate and not so much meat.- buy the skin lotions made for babies, much cheaper than fancy make-up.

Did you know that someone on income support or jobseekers can get chepper bt line retail

Don't use expensive face cleansers to remove make-up, use Aqueos Cream. An enormous tub is about £2-50. I've been usng it for years as I'm allergic to lanolin and got fed up with searching for and buying expensive cleansers that didn't have lanolin, only to find after a while, my face erupting with dry skin and scabs - to find they'd 'improved' the stuff and added lanolin!!!

Save your £2 coins. I don't get many of those but I stack them up on the shelf in the bedroom and don't spend them ... soon adds up. No idea what I'll spend it on but hopefully chocolate or alcohol or something equally necessary - LOL!

Don't be a carer.Fifty quid a week and don't automatically qualify for a lot of the concessions other people on benefits do.

Bah humbug!

Peg out.

Peg out? Washing?

I have a good way of cutting down on my food bill.
I usually have it delivered as I work almost full time, But you could still do it if you go in the shop.

First I go to the 'offers' section in the shop. I pick out all the things that we could buy for main meals, i.e meat, pies, chicken nuggets. Whatever you might like.
I buy enough food to make 7 family meals (1 for each day), Using the ones on offer first.
I then buy all the extras that we might need, Like milk, butter, bread, etc.
Then I buy all my household items, bleach, toilet roll.
Lastly it is luxury items, Cakes, Sweets etc.

By only buying for 7 meals and taking advantage of offers I have cut my shopping bill by about £25 per week.
We are a family of 5 and this week I spent £60 on my shopping.

Mac , you are so funny. A friend of ours came to the house the other day , I was out , hubby gave her a cuppa and a Kit -Kat , she asked for another one as she was hungry . She `s training to be a Dietician. I think that`s a cheek asking for another biscuit !!!
