    woah there!!! I only said about not being able to afford an iphone because all teh apps you mentioned are for the iphone.
    I know you could use other phones i.e. android or blackberry but ideally if you're trying to save money then a smart phone is normally an expensive purchase. Personally I use my laptop at home for tracking my finances.

    A tip for petrol costs though is to use shell petrol, I switched recently and see a big increase in how many miles I get (approx 50 miles extra per tank).

    For tesco clubcard, get a keyring clubcard and put it on your housekeys, I do that so I always have it with me.

    Can't really think of any MSE things I need when I'm out and about.
    Bank Loans: [STRIKE]£25000[/STRIKE] £0- Barclay Card 14%: [STRIKE]£2500[/STRIKE] £0- Student Loan: [STRIKE]£12,500[/STRIKE] £0
    Current total [STRIKE]£40,000[/STRIKE] £0:j (100% PAID OFF)

    I wasn't seriously advocating buying an iPhone or any other phone to get these apps but if anyone already had such a device it might prove handy. My phone originally cost me £90 on a £30 a month contract which wasn't all that expensive at the time but now I'm out of contract and on PAYG it's only costing me about £10 a month. Not a great fan of the iPhone to be honest, the apps are good but the ring isn't loud enough and battery life is pathetic, I have to recharge mine every day. I'm going to stick with it for a while yet though as I don't want any expenses just at the moment thanks.
