Extreme Money Saving !!!!!!

If you use the John Lewis restaurant you can get free jars of baby food (the HIPP organic type)! This was in the large High Wycombe branch, but I presume they have the same policy in other branches.

Go and get yourself a coffee and baby eats free!!! Plus they have great flasks for warming food/bottles.:T

Returning to the theme of loos and saving money, how gross is this: -
If it's yellow let it mellow.
if it's brown flush it down!

Save a fortune on laundry bills. Give your dirty shirts to Oxfam. They
will wash and iron them and you can buy them back for fifty pence.

Domestos is an ideal substitute for Blue Curaco, and far less pricey.

Don't buy expensive "ribbed" condoms, just buy an ordinary one and
slip a handful of frozen peas inside it before you put it on.

Viz Top Tips fans - save money when trying to complete your collection by not buying the books or back issues, just read woohoo's posts instead!

I havent actually tried this one myself but I've heard that earwax makes very good furniture polish.

A work colleague from a few years ago used to open up supermarket packs of grapes, shake them to get rid of the ones that were more likely to go off. She would then eat some of them prior to going to the till, saying that they overcharge for them anyway.

I did my best to pretend I didn't know her...

actually dare I admit it but I do this too I always shake the grapes out of the bag that have fallen off and when my daughter was little I couldnt stop her from eating them - what would you prefer in a supermarket, happy kid eating grapes or screeming kid LOL. We still 'test' a grape each just to check they are not sour :rotfl:
I also pick broccoli that doesnt have large stalks on it - I wonder if I would get into trouble if I cut off the bits I didnt want LOL can you just see me walking into Tescos with a knife to peel the potatoes, carrots and trim the broccoli so I dont have to pay for the waste :eek:

Keep em coming!! Some of them are SOOOOO gross but I've been laughing my head off!! One thing I do (even before lightbulb) is to pull all the waste out of my hoover bag into bin & reuse it! Am still on bag no one saving me about £5 and added bonus is that if you pick up any coins inadvertantly you see them in the bin!!

My OH does this (well, not the knife). He will snap off the woody bits of asparagus that would just get binned when we get home! No point paying for the bits you're not going to eat

This thread rather alarmed me, I already do so much of this I must be rather a meanie (not the vibrator one though!) Another one is in supermarkets I grab a few extra bags in the fruit & veg section (for the meat section I say) and bung them in the trolly, then the girl on the till asks if I want them, (therefore I cannot be stealing them!) I haven't bought bags in years!! I always turn my pans off ahead of time, and my oven (unless there's something like Yorkshire puds in it!). Once I have cleaned my floor (with a Tesco's cheap floor wipe (well I can't wash it as it's wooden), I then go around cleaning everything I can with it until it's used up.

I love this thread, even a few new ideas!!
