    1. Bring your lunch with you to work, saves a fortune compared to eating out, even if it's only a sandwich.

    2. Do not run up huge credit card bills, if you can don't get a credit card at all.

    3. Value buy, look for special offers that are actually worthwhile, not just rubbish that's cheap so you buy it even though you don't need it.

    4. Write out a shopping list and only get the items on the list, do not add more into the basket.

    5. Shop around to find out which shop is the cheapest for the items you need.

    6. Don't just buy the cheapest item as often they are not value for money and you end up having to buy double, buy the best quality you can afford, it lasts longer that way.

    7. Cut-out non-essentials (but don't give up everything you enjoy as that just makes you miserable)

    8. Instead of going out for a meal with your partner, cook them one yourself, cheaper and the effort will be much more appreciated :86:

    9. Although it's hard try to get into the habit of putting a bit of money aside each week/month, even if it's only a small amount getting into the habit of saving is an excellent habit to have.

    10. Cut-out on the take-aways, cooking yourself is cheaper and healthier.
