Every day, when I got up I had to lick the road clean, and then I'd have to walk 20 miles to work in the factory for 25 hours a day and then when I come home every day my father would kill us all in cold blood!

    Kids these days don't know how easy they've got it!!!"

    its a bit of an odd post re being broke, i am a student, and yea we get roughly 1000+/term in loan depends on your situation, all uni students can get 1000+ overdraft etc, and then if you had a job too? Should have money to be honest

    Ive paid about 1500 rent since i started this year, and i still too have bills, food to buy etc

    just dont spend it on those latest trainers costing 80 that are oh so cool
    :)

    I've not read the whole thread so don't know what applies to you, but my tips, mostly picked up from this site, are:
    - Use coupons at supermarkets = whatever you want at Tesco for half price.
    - Tesco clubcard coupons = GET PAID to take away free toiletries (and worth 4 times more in coupons).
    - Matched betting (no one shout at me please) = free £1000 in a few weeks
    - Ebay. Sell what you don't need. I sometimes spot bargains and ebay them. Puts a few quid in my pocket each week.
    - Quidco daily clicks + pigsback = free 50p a day which is £15 at the end of the month to treat yourself guilt free.
    - Forget your wallet and get your gf/bf to pay :rotfl:

    edit: How can i forget to mention Tesco R&R? Walk in, get free £40 worth of cds/dvds/games. Sell on ebay for £30 or to mates for £20. Ideal if you are on a course which gives you alot of free time.
    They say you can't put a value on life... but I live it at half price!
  • Re: Tesco clubcard coupons = GET PAID to take away free toiletries (and worth 4 times more in coupons) and Tesco R&R...

    Could you please explain.... or give the links to the appropriate threads?

    Matched betting (no one shout at me please) - I'd never shout at you for that... it's been my main money making route. Edit: amount in the sig not up to date anymore!!!
