You head straight for the reduced aisle of the shop :rotfl:

Hehe, that's me. I know where all the reduced items are in all the stores in my area and head there before attempting any more shopping.

My local co-op staff have never seen me buy anything without a reduced sticker on it :rotfl:

My freinds think Im nuts stopping to pick up pennys in the street even if I go back for it, they ask if Im embarrassed but then when I tell them how much Ive put in a jar they are now on the look out

When your dad explains to the salesman trying to sell him gas and electric that he knows he has the best deal available because his daughter found it for him and she is so thrifty she would cut a raisin in half if she could think of two uses for it!:o

When you use the water from the dehumidifer to water the plants and wonder what else you could use it for

How about using it in a steam iron?

You've left the milk outside as it's as cold as the fridge and more economical to run it less full.

It's actually more economical to run your fridge and freezer more full than less full. If you think about it, all the space in the fridge or freezer not occupied by food is occupied by air. As warm air rises, so does cold air fall. When you open the door, the cold air falls out, sucking warmer air in. When you close the door again the fridge or freezer than has to work to extract the heat out of the warmer air.

Your milk will 'retain' the cold whilst the fridge door is open far more than then equivalent air.

Another tip, if you happen to have an upright freezer with a lot of space in, fill up a drawer with newspapers. These will go cold and retain the cold when you open the door to get at the other contents, therefore you lose less cold air when the door is opened and the freezer is more efficient to run.

When you realise you're excited for summer because of how much cheaper it is than winter!

[fuel bills, spend more time outside, hot vs cold food, eat less etc!]
