Latest little saving

GreyPilgrim

Haircut, £8.50 a go, normally once every 4-5 weeks. Bought a pair of clippers at the weekend for £16, so we can do it for free now! Will have broke even in two months and save that bit extra every month going forward. It's also quite a nice bonding experience as my wife and daughter hover over me shaving my head. It must be quite a nice scene to observe - like the Attenborough documentaries where the baboons are grooming each other (ok, so they pick fleas off each other too, but you get the idea)

after having bought my clippers ten years ago, i have not once needed to go to the hairdressers - and i do a far better job myself (they really are butchers in my opinion!) [somebody else do the calculations ]

I just rub a cloth over my head and give it a polish...and make it shine

Well it's a big leap of faith too...makes you question how much the wife loves you and whether she would give you a bald stripe just for a laugh. I had anxiety dreams the night before where I walked away looking like bobby charlton

I've gone the other way - not had my hair cut in about 18 months now. Saved me a fortune on haircuts, esp at Cambridge prices.

...only problem is if you do it yourself you have to be careful not to miss bits!!

i did 'miss bits' the very first time: went into work the following day, and junior school kids really took the mick out of me - and they didn't even address me as 'sir'

I've been shaving my head for a few years now. You'll also notice another saving - shampoo! I buy cheap supermarket stuff because there really is no need to have multi-vitamins in what amounts to liquid soap now.

Just don't try what I did. After reading a comment on the OS board I decided to water down my cheapo shampoo. Not only did I need to use twice as much shampoo after that, but my head squeaked!!! :rotfl:
