Tip - Save your money

Hi

I have been asked to post regarding how to save your money which benefits on people who have debt problem...

Here is my good tips for you guys:

Saving that kind of money is to don't !!!!!! or burn your money too much meaning that I don't drink a lot but don't smoke now (I used to drink a lot and but quited smoking about five years cuz I felt I was out of control at that time). In fact, I try to spend drink no more than £20 per month.

Buy ecomonical clothes for ASDA and they are quite nice. (I bought slipper for £4 and they are quite comfortable!)

Buy sensible foods and avoid buying junk foods!

Buy vegetables and other stuff from local indian store cuz they are fairly cheaper than high-profile retails. In fact you can buy ton of spice foods which are ten times cheaper than ASDA.

Sometime I buy buy tomatoes sauce, tin foods and coffee from Farmfood (It is nothing wrong with that shop but I advise to avoid buying microwave food package cuz they are not very nice)

There is plenty of ways to have a nice time than getting smashed in town like going to cinema, rent dvds, countryside walk, musemum and have a early night with your partner!

Make your own sandwiches instead of buying ready-made for your lunch.

Don't waste on bloody microwave food cuz they are tasteless and bland!
Be creative and learn to cook with fresh meat and vegetables. There is plenty of recipes from internet - Try googling for it

If you live near your work, use bloody bike or walk to save your car's petrol!

Buy goods from ebay online cuz they are generally cheaper

Throw or snipe your credit card away in order to get any debt otherwise you will be in a deep ......!

If you are a big fan of drink water mineral from bottles, go and buy a water-filtered jug. My lass is impressed with it cuz she feel her skin has significantly improved.

    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

    This is a geniune post from someone on the student board who was congratulated for saving £10k, whilst earning a small starter salary after finishing studying. kiwigirl suggested he came over here to share his success story.
