If you go to the local duck pond and lurk nearby you may be able to rescue the bread thrown to the ducks, I'm sure it will taste fine after it has dried out!

I actually do this sometimes, but I do not pick the longest queue...but if there is a paper or mag there I will read it while I wait.

I used to do this with books when I was younger, just wander around the shop behind my family with my face in a book and then I'd put the book away when we got to the till. Not my fault the local library's rubbish at getting new books in!
I still do this with magazines though, because they keep them in racks behind the tills where I normally shop (so you effectively have to pay for your groceries, then get your magazines and pay for them separately which is a silly waste of time) and it only takes a minute or two, since most of the articles in the magazines I read are rather dull and not worth paying for.

That's an idea! I am a 'reader' while doing the business, I could pop into Tesco and 'borrow' a mag. Use their toilet paper and water, return the mag, job done..... :rotfl: :rotfl:

Well you see, I could make a casserole in the oven ar work, and fill my flask with their water to take home. I have, when on earlies, used the shower. I have a breville at work. I know for certain that when some of the guys who live quite far out, have a really late night in town, go up and sleep there until local transport starts up.

I think everyone's forgotten the sport that is quite literally penny-pinching.

Here's how to do it:

Put on blue swimming gear and buy some blue snorkels and goggles - it will help to camouflage you.

Next, at around 5.a.m. head to your local fountain (I recommend city centres). Get in the water, and have a good two hours snorkelling and collecting up the pennies that have been thrown in.

By the time you're finished, it will be getting quite busy so be sure to hide where you can't be seen.

As and when people throw in their pennies, you need to stealth your way to the location and pick it up, before any other penny-pinchers who have followed this guide get there first.

After a hard day's work pinching pennies, it's time to get yourself some free grub.

As a previous poster recommend, local lakes are a great place to grab yourself a meal.

Still in your costume, jump in the lake and hide next to a tree, near some ducks. IMPORTANT: do NOT let the ducks see you! They will know what you're up to and will gather their friends to fight you!

Now you play the waiting game. Once some local visitors approach the lake, be on guard. They will begin their bread throwing very soon.

Now, from, experience, here's how bread-throwers work: they initially throw small pieces of bread individually to the ducks. This is NOT effective for food hunting! You are best to wait. After a minute or so, the bread-thrower will begin increasing their throw-load to several pieces of bigger-sized bread.

Once you deem their handfuls to be as big as they're going to get, GO FOR IT! Splash and squawk and scream, anything to encourage the duckies to leave the food and approach safety (note: under NO circumstances must you get physically violent towards the ducks!). Once the area is clear, snorkel towards the bread and scoop them up.

You now have the choice to eat them immediately or to go home and allow them to dry out before consumption.

Good luck!

:T Oh my God how funny is this post cheers everyone you have cheered me up no end!!! I myself enjoy the age old money saving technique of visiting the local pub and "borrowing" their glasses. This means I have lots of glasess and can afford to replace them whenever the fancy takes me, I also dont mind if the other half breaks one! As for saving money on food, lots of supermarkets now have those large bins with pet food in for the local animal centres, just "borrow" a couple of tins (I find dog food is the best) and there you go hey presto some lovely meat to make a nice pie or cassarole for your tea!

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

And of course, don't forget the old viz (comic) top tip of:

Rather than buying expensive binoculars, if you want to make something you are looking at bigger, just move closer to it!!!!!

My household is so poor we have to use second-hand toilet paper.

Yeah, why use newspaper when you can use brown packing paper. It gets delivered to your door, and you can't see the stains the second time.

Or don't bother with paper at all, just soap and water. Just be careful not to leave hairs in the soap or fall off the washbasin.
