Unusual ways to save a bit of money

Options
Just wondered if anyone has any unusual things that they do to save money to put towards their debts instead.

Such as -

If you have loing hair, cut it short to save on shampoo/conditioner etc.

Am I weird?
Sometimes I feel like a pelican. Whichever way I turn, I've still got an enormous bill in front of me.

    No not weird at all. Check out the "sticky" thread at the top of the DFW board...."Ideas on How to Cut Back" (I think it is called that - or something similar) as there are LOADS of ideas - you will enjoy reading through it!

    Also the Old Style Forum has tonnes of threads/posts.

    As well as that thread, there's also the Extreme Money Saving thread, which includes fantastic advice like removing the light bulb from your fridge (to save on the electricity, LOL).
