    What is an upside down bottle saver and how do you make one? I normally just try and balance them on their lids and hope they don't topple over in the night!

    Best moneysaver is getting both myself and the OH onto this website - both of us look after every penny now.

    Best moneyMAKER is selling everything and anything on ebay...costs around 15p to list an item, even if I only get £1 for it, I'm 85p richer and if I do this with everything instead of throwing it out, it all adds up!!
